quite annoying
Not sure what's wrong with the game but the units are all going totally nuts.
Some examples:
battle at w.osgilliath; mordor attacking me (gondor obv.)
They send forth a ram/tower and some units whilst 2/3 of their army stays in the distance/e.osgilliath.
I put some spears in front of my gate to hold up their ram whilst cutting them down with a rain of arrows. First wave held back. yay.
But what now? The enemy just stands there, rotting with their feet in the water doing nothing. Their tower rolled against my walls, they climbed into the tower but.. just stand there, huddled together in that tower - not attempting any attack.
Running the game on x6 speed fast forward - after half an hour still nothing. All i can do is sally forth and attack them (which puts me in quite a disadvantage as they have WAY more troops). Yet, they don't do anything.
They attack my units in defense but that's about it, no charge no nothing. When i break them - instead of routing they just fight to death.
New campaign, new battle. Me as isengard (2k) vs rohan (4.5k) on the isen. I send my pikemen and spears to the rivermouth as a chokepoint. However, my men running to there seem to be impossible to go into formation. They run around in some tight circle repositioning everytime. Of course rohan just steamrolls over them like nothing.
Played the battle 4 times now, only way to get my pikemen there in some orderly formation is by letting them stay in spearwall and walk to the spot (which makes me lose a lot of time btw). Anyhows, after finally getting my spears in a decent position after restarting the battle 4 times - i can hold rohan in a decent way.
I then want to charge with some orc Raiders, though, instead of rushing forward they run backwards (thefuq?) run in some circle - then half of their unit charges whilst the other half stays behind running in all directions EXCEPT to the enemy. Of course, being out of formation they get steamrolled over. Yay.
My archers suddenly feel quite heroic as they all of a sudden drop their bows (heh, they still had arrows and are on fire at will AND are quite far of the actual melee battle supposedly raining down arrows on the enemy) but now, they go in and charge in melee - say what??
And as if that's not enough, when you actually fight on a fair battleground (all of the above happens in custom cities)
when you click charge or hunt down the enemy sometimes only HALF of the unit runs forwards, whilst the other half stays behind. This also happend in W.osgiliath battle.
I send faramirs unit to e.osgiliath over the bridge, but faramir himself + 10men linger behind whilst the rest of the unit goes in place. Since faramir is lacking behind however, the unit cannot fire arrows even tho they're in range and instead fall backwards again all the way back to west osgiliath
The huck is wrong?
I had this on my laptop, now i reinstalled on my new pc but no change. I'm also playing with a i5 3750k , processor 8gb 1600 ram and a zotac gtx 670 2GB, yet rohan's reinforcements didn't show up because my pc supposedly cannot handle the amount of units. lol?
