Another bug for Osaka Siege (not the railway)

[aeoleron9]

As we know the rails in Osaka historic battle are bugged and will kill units walking over it. However I ran into another similar bug, namely the castle gates. The moment my men got close to the second castle gate, they dropped dead immediately, wiping out three of my units right then and there. They didn't even rout or anything, they just died on the spot.

Didn't have a screenshot or replay cuz I was dumbstruck, but I think the bug should be fairly easy to reproduce.

Spoilers for the battle below, careful if you haven't played it:

Following the pre-battle advice, I used my guns to destroy the two towers containing gunpowder, igniting the castle gates. The first bridge was blown up so I had to go around to the second bridge on the west side. As soon as my guys got close to the burning gates, they died instantly.

Later I tried the third gate on the north, and this time my men got through safely, but there's some serious pathfinding issues there cause half of the men in units decided to run in the opposite direction when I told them to charge into the castle. (Maybe they didn't want to get instakilled like the other three units?)

One time, I was playing Shogun 2, and I was using my general to burn a gate down.

Well, the gatehouse cought on fire, and when it broke, it killed my general. This is the gatehouse. When you just get the gates to burn, it doesn't do that. I guess he just got unlucky, and a peice of burning debris hit him.


Maybe this is what happened to your men?
