Strange acting enemy

**coolenaab** · September 06, 2011, 04:12 PM

Hello, I have a little problem with the enemy.

When I am defending a forrtes/castle/citedal and finish the deployment stage, the enemy just simply drops there siege weapons and runs toward the edge of te map and then they seem to freeze because they don't do anything unles I attack them (even there archers don't fire until I attack them). I don't know why this is happening and I realy don't like it that they don't attack my forrtes because if I go after them it becomes just a normal open fight.

I tried the campain mode and skirmish mode and they just won't attack me, the rest of the game is working perfect.

I hope sombody knows what is happening here.

Is the AI actually attacking your town or are you sallying out?

It mostly happens when i'm sallying out. And know i think of it it makes some sense that they do that whe i'm sallying out,

Well yeah, there's your answer.

A besieging army attacks when it feels like, not when you want them to, and if you want to break the siege you have to fight them on their terms. The enemy isn't there to accommodate you. It's the same way in the vanilla game although the AI behavior might be slightly different here due to G5's changes.

Whilst being on the subject of strangely acting enemy, during my last campaign - several months ago mind you - the enemy stepped RIGHT THROUGH THE WALLS of my castle. What the friggin hekk? I mean, if you think wall-hacking was bad...

I guess that it was in Minas Tirith? Then it's also a known thing And won't be anymore when 3.0 is released because Minas Tirith will then be changed.
