Siege tower bug

[leonidas302]

Hi,

I don't understand why but my men cannot use siege towers. They march straight up to the wall with them, push them against the wall but then just stand there. No matter how many times I tell them to get back on and siege the wall they just stand there and the icon showing they are handling siege equipment disappears. What's causing this? It makes siege towers almost impossible because another issue is that when sieging (especially greek hellenic cities) my equipment gets set on fire almost instantly, towers are up in flames within a few hails of arrows and battering rams last even less time. Is this normal?

Hi Leonidas302!
That is recurrent but that happens at some random times when doing sieges and it happens with ladders too.
You don't have to do anything special to solve that.
Just do this: Send the unit with the siege tower/ladder and if they stop after reaching the wall, you just have to click the unit and click after on the wall. The unit will immediately start climbing the ladders/siege tower and the problem will be solved!

This helps only when you siege stone walls of western Greek and Roman cities. I don't know the reason, probably it has to do with custom settlement. This doesn't happen when you siege the stone walled cities of other cultures. As Portugal said, just select unit that has dropped the siege equipment and then right click on to wall, the unit will then proceed climbing it.
