50 turns to build a siege ram

**eesoos** · July 04, 2020, 05:27 PM

I am playing as Makedon,turn 2,and I am sieging Pella(with a general)and building any siege equipment such as a ram or siege tower takes an absurd amount of seasons.This is definetely a bug,I've encountered it in the mod broken crescent buff and shine as well if it helps with anything.Is there a fix?

It's not a bug. You're building siege equipment with only one unit, that would be impossible even in real life. Don't be lazy and add more troops to the stack.

I don't think it is a bug. It has to do with the traits of your leading general. Right now I don't remember the exact trait, but if he starves quickly on enemy territory he and his entire army would get just 1 build point - hence the 50 turns for a ram.

The way to avoid this - try sieging the town with a different general. If no general can do the job, siege without a general. An army without a general will have the full building points. Of course with this latter option you run the risk of the army rebelling, if your treasury is not positive.
