Hello there followers of Meloncat,
I am having difficulties winning big siege battles. Mind you, I'm playing Warband unmodded for the moment. My two biggest problems are:
1. Enemy archers machine-gunning down my troops
I have tried to respond to this by shooting them down myself or by bringing my own sharpshooters. However, whenever I start a battle, there is usually only 1 archer in my team, even though I have way more. I tried to get the Pre-battle deployment mod, but it doesn't work with the newest version of warband. As a result, I can't pick which units I want to start a battle with (unless you guys know of another mod). I also can't figure out how to tell my archers to only use arrows instead of charging up the ladder. I used the command menu to stay back, but they often don't even shoot.
2. My troops get stuck on top of the ladder
This one is pretty self-explanatory. For some reason, they do not like to push through, even when there is space.
Any tips or mods you know that I could use would be kindly appreciated.
