Too many units routing on walls after installing expansion

[LegolasElf]

Hey guys i have a little issue. Right now i started playing the campaign with the Macedonians and whenever i have to defend my city and whenever enemy troops get onto my walls, some of my units continiously route and fight to the death. This simply leads to their death obviously. Its very annoying at times. I have just 4 greek soldiers on my wall with 2 of my units pinning them from both sides and the 4 greeks soldiers are like "Victory seems certain, only a fool could loose this battle." and my guys are about 100 of em pinning em and are fighing to the death, before that they were going "Defeat seems certain, only a military genius could win this battle." It makes no sense, can someone tell me whats going on here?

P.S. Im playing on veyr hard difficulty level on the battle map by the way if that has anything to do with it.

Welcome to the forums. On TWC you will find many good Mods which you will be content with and will have this problem fixed. It's all about the morale of units in export_descr_unit.txt which the vanilla RTW hasn't got it too good. I'd recommend you RTR PE which you can find links for on the last line of my signature. One more thing, when you play on VH difficulty is something usual that the computer has a far better morale then you. It's something to make the game harder not the AI smarter.

Generally speaking it's not a good idea to play on Very Hard battle difficulty. Unless you happen to be a masochist.

Why is that? I ment to say that im playing the battle map on very difficult, not the campaign map.

Well, VH makes the AI capable of pulling off absolutely ridiculous maneuvers, like charging a phalanx with light cavalry from the front, and not getting slaughtered. That, in my opinion, is ridiculous. Oh by the way, if you play the campaign game on Very Hard, AI factions get a 10000 Denarii bonus every turn.

Yeah, putting the AI on very hard difficuly (after installing the patch of all things) will make the game really hard. Once, a friend of mine and myself played a co-op battle against the AI with very hard difficulty, and even the both of us had a hard time pulling off a victory (heck, we were also greeks fighting pontus and parthia).
