    Default Do siege towers work?

    Are siege towers functioning? And if not, is that due to a bug or a feature?

    I've only attempted to use the towers twice in sieges. Both times playing as KH and assaultin stone walls. Both times, my troops push the tower right up next to the wall, then drop the equipment. The tower never deploys on the wall. I can order my soldiers to pick up the tower again, but they drop it when ordered to attack the wall. I've had the same experience regardless of infantry type during my siege of Corinth and Thermon.

    Are the towers not intended to be used against stone walls, or at all? I don't know about the history of siege towers, but there's nothing in game describing it either way.

    No, they are working properly. I've had the same experience, but the siege towers were deployed properly once I have ordered them picked up and deployed the second time. It might be either just these cities bugged, or a newly introduced bug somewhere along the updates...

    I'll try attacking another settlement with wooden walls and see what happens. Or maybe see if i can set up a custom battle with stone walls and try it out. Can someone start a KH game and attack Corinth and see if it can be replicated?

    I've got a savegame from right before the assault on Thermon in case one someone wants to take a look at it.

    I had some trouble with those lately too. They arrive at the walls and sometimes dont deploy. Insistence makes them work but it can take a while.

    We will either find a way, or make one.

    Only on cities for certain cultures? May be a city specific bug.
