Siege Tower Pathfinding problem

[totalwarguy]

Just recently started a new campaign as the WRE on BI. Things are going ok...except for whenever I lay siege to cities and my units push towers up to the walls, only about 6 or 7 members of a unit can climb the tower, the rest just run around in a circle at the bottom and eventually get hit by an arrow, javelin, or something of that sort. I remember having this same issue with vanilla RTW sometimes when it was patched to 1.3, but after 1.5 I did not see it anymore. Did 1.6 BI go backwards in this regard? I don't remember having this problem on past campaigns in BI but it doesnt seem to go away now.

Does it happen with other factions.

[totalwarguy]

Erm...actually now that I've done some test battles with other factions, no. It only happens with WRE. I'm confused.

i don't know
maybe rome has bad siege on yours

I've had that bug a few times, but never consistently. Best thing to do is simply pack a few more towers, and smash the gate open with artillery. Don't rely just on towers, I use them more for cleaning out the walls than dropping off soldiers.

Probably just a random bug.

It's a fairly well-known bug. It occurs with large stone walls only, I believe. I can't tell you why this happens, but it's just another example of why Rome is not as awesome as everyone says it is.

For a 8 year old game It's pretty ing good.

Seconded. However, I am slightly sick of Rome fanboys claiming that this is the only game that we should play and that every other title released is just a money-grabbing venture run by the Capitalists and the Freemasons.

BTW that's not you. You're intelligent.
