historical campaign, joan of arc

[Ragss]

Well I took a break from my english SP campaign to try out some historical battles. All went well, including owning all of the battles in the english campaign. But then i go to the french one...I was supposed to kill the 4 ballista's to win the map...so I did...all i got in return was 300 knights and 120 MAA... I like to think of myself as a skilled defender, but i was no match for this army and got creamed. What i want to know is, am i supposed to beat this army? Or did it bug out and i should have won when all the ballista were destroyed and they crews routed...

Thanks in advance.

The battle was over for me when I destroyed the fourth ballista, or just a few seconds afterward. There was still a considerable army facing me when the battle ended.

Once when I played I got a bug and could not destroy one of the ballistas. No matter how hard I tried my knights would chase off and kill the crew but for some reason couldn't/wouldn't smash the damn ballista.

After some comp maint it worked itself out.

That was a fun (and for me hard) battle. Wondering what you did to get all four?

Yes, sometimes you can't destroy siege equipment, also in the SP campaign, I suppose it's a glitch. Just restart the battle and try again, you should win once all ballistas are destroyed (the ballistas, not necessarily their crews).

It was super easy to get them for me... I just sprinted all my troops out the front door of the castle then waited for an opening and sprinted my calvery around the aproaching billmen ect and boom it was done in about 5 mins. Then i spent about 1 or 2 hours trying to fend off immpossible odds hehe. I play lots of Madden 04 and use the running game a lot, so maybe that helped me get around the bills so fast http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

Guess ill just do it again and hope it works this time.

When I played it wouldent let me kill one of the ballistas for awhile, then just when I was about to lose the battle it suddenly let my group of knights attack it and I won at the last second wierd http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

I sent my 2 cav Chasing the Ballistas, they did get 3. Then I sent Joan herself for the forth. Rest of the troops did even not see the enemy.

Though I didn't succeed the 2nd battle. Not sure what My canon should aim...
