Has Anyone Else Noticed...?

Has anyone else noticed that when you're attacking a city, your units will experience really bad pathfinding?

For example, I had one unit of Corsairs put ladders on the walls so they could take on the enemy. At the same time, we managed to destroy the gates, so I ordered my fifteen Dreadspears into the city.

They ALL tried to go up the ladders! Even when they were standing right in front of a gate.

More of a general discussion than a tactical one (though maybe bad tactics, on the part of the game ). I can remember similar things happening in Medieval 2.

I have never had that happen. units will only go up the walls when I make it.

did you order them to move into the city with ladders in place already? and the gates fell while it is executing that move order? only thing that pops into my head for that scenario to happen.

I have that exoerience if there's units fighting right infront of the gate and you command another unit to attack the enemy behind the open gate.

When they cant get through, they will go to the wall to climb the ladder to get on the other side.

Most irritating siege behaviour for me is routing units at the gate and on the walls who then retreat into your settlement. Then they rally, regroup and charge from behind. Annoying as all hell to have to chase the enmy down in my own settlement after I broke their bloody unit at the gates.
