units not withdrawing

[desdichado]

Fighting a battle agains Egyptians and after I beat off the main assault I tried to withdrawthrough some trees some beaten up units (including my general). Three units (and then another later on) got stuck on the edge of the map - they looked like they were trying to leave but couldn't. Had to bring them back on to the map (halt command was flashing on & off) and then routed some and they left and the others again tried to withdraw and eventually left. Problem was I had to face three more assaults with only 12 units of troops who had already suffered 30% casualties and AI cav almost rolled up my right flank.

Has anybody else suffered this? Am I doing something wrong or could it be a bug?

I believe the problem is trying to withdraw through trees. Some sort of bug, I imagine.

I too have had this problem. It was a simple defense on top of a hill, group of trees behind me (in toulouse, maybe?). My archers ran out of ammo and the battle was going my way so i withdrew them to bring on some more cav. and infantry to clean up, but the archers (3 units) took forever to leave the map. I believe one left, but the other two never did. I was very frustrated, but I had the battle in hand so it wasn't disastrous.

So far the trees are the common thread here. Perhaps that's what's causing it?

Yes, there was a thread about a week or 2 ago and it seemed to be the general consensus.
