Levitating horsemen bug? Their asses are one foot above the saddle!

**Roma_Victrix** · August 15, 2013, 09:01 AM

Hi everyone. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I've noticed that EVERY one of my cavalrymen has a wrapping glitch or bug. That is, they're not properly seated in their saddles when riding their horses. Instead, they seem to be rising (levitating?) in the air about a foot higher than the saddle. It looks okay from the front, but from the rear it looks ridiculous with their capes draping over mid air instead of the horses' backs.

Is there a fix for this I haven't seen yet? It's not the biggest deal in the world, but if there's an easy way to fix this, then I'm all ears!

And BTW, I am playing on a Mac OSX, not PC. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Hehe. That's good. Sounds similiar to what I have seen 2 times. Dead bodies in the air.

It's a minor thing compared to acrobatic phalanxmen - but is it really an issue?

You're a General - you're not supposed to have time to zoom in and watch your cavalrymen's butts bouncing........

Oh that sounds like Gamer Poop...

"Let's get to bashing butts aswell as DEEZ nuts!"

Oh my, I'm laughing my ass off...

@DarthBane1, did your account get taken over by Snoop Dogg for a moment there?

DEEZ nuts!

@ur-LordTedric, you make it sound so homoerotic!

Seriously though, it looks frigging bizarre. The glitch makes all horsemen look like ultra tall NBA players or something. The game is clearly playable, it doesn't make it CTD or anything. But still, kind of annoying and a distraction for when I do want to zoom in close and watch the carnage/mayhem of battle.

The only thing missing there is blood, but I can just play MDIITW Stainless Steel for that.

No, no. Hehe. You can look on Youtube for Gamer Poop.

Roma' - if you find it "homoerotic", then that's something for you to consider............

Curiously - after many 100's of hours of battles it's not something I've ever noticed - you have indeed made me want to look when I check the install of v2.6!

On a very serious note, redoing the current sprites is not likely in the short term and in the medium term I would expect most such effort to go into RTW2 mods.

Well Tedric, I had 2 battles against 2 armies full of Levy Pikemens... First battle won, army completely crushed, waiting for many routers that they get away from the battlefield (because of this stupid phalanx bug that phalanx units floating all around the field), I noticed 3 dead bodies lying in the air. I looked at them and thought: "What the...?" And started to laugh. Second battle, again. I think I made a screenshot. Hm, I have to look at it again...
