Siege battles not working properly - enemies refuse to pick up siege tools

[ChiliNoMore]

so, this is great mod made by men of great virtue and valor, but now i have this problem when i get besieged and the battle starts, all the enemy troops retreat back to the back side of the field and wait there until i leave the castle, leaving any siege weaponry (trebuchets, ballista, etc) vunerable to a swift cavalry attack from me (since they're slow moving troops).

then, they come back when i leave the castle, but they don't pick any siege tools (ladders, ram, siege towers) and just stay there while getting hit by missile fire... they come closer when i leave the fortress and they might start running around the walls, but without taking any tools to get in...

so every siege battle ends up with me have to get out to fight them losing the the defensive bonus that walls would provide.

i've been looking around the forum to see if someone else was having the same problem but i didn't find anyone... if it's not well explained enough, i'll be posting some screenshots when a siege happens again.

thanks in advance for any help with this problem.

look for in the submods section the battle ai submod (its by germanicus5 and its excellent work) it will fix that pathfinding problem and make the game harder in general. Make sure to get the ss6.4 version compatiable, theres a auto installer for ss6.4. (heres the submod thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=253132)
