Greeting fellow knights and samurais! In the Historical Campaign for the French as Joan de Arc in the Loire Valley mission, I totally devastated the English castle walls and towers. I then had my artillery bombard the enemy troops inside to even out with my forces. When their forces were down or routing, I sent my troops inside the walls to attack. The English are dead or left the battlefield. All of my French troops are inside the castle remains, yet the game hasn’t ended. No enemy were in the battlefield anymore. I have more than 100 troops inside already as was advised in the Bradey Games strategy guide. Does anybody know what’s going on? Is it a bug or what because it happened again while playing as the Golden Horde and I was besieging the castle at Kiev? Btw, for the Loire mission, I destroyed the Keep’s towers. Could that be a factor? Do I need to have the Keep kept intact? Thanks for any advice.

i would go looking for any enemy forces stuck behind a wall or a house or tree or something.

had a similar thing happen to me when a single archer got stuck on the edge of a house while routing.

took me ages to find him. when i did find him and killed him the game ended with the victory.

How did you kill all the towers...I run out of ammo well before then..I have tried winning the loire valley mission a dozen times without success...Any tips are appreciated...Tried single massive assault and two pronged assaults without success

Actually, in my game options I set to unlimited ammo. Thanks to who all responded. I haven’t finished the French campaign yet because I’m playing SP campaign playing as the Turks, but I finished the Mongol horde mission where I was seiging the castle at Kiev. I killed their Russian leader and sent a more than a 100 Mongol heavy cavalry into the Keep’s walls after I breached the walls. That mission was complete thereafter. I’ll try it with Joan de Arc mission when I get around to it.
