Hi all
Sea born invasions, has anyone experienced this little AI campaign glitch?
Enemy clan invades via one of my port provinces, which is well garrisoned. They loose but small numbers of enemy troops escape (five or six troops from 2 to 3 units).
The next turn single units from previous invasion attack again, this happens until all units that escaped have attacked and been destroyed.
Great for my general wins three battles no loss of own troops but it bugs me!
I have been playing STW since its release but I think I have only experienced this glitch since loading the V1.02 patch.

Secondly I have noticed several of you use gif animation's in your posts. How do you include these?

Hi Barry
Yes two battles, lost both connection problems with second then server went down, but loved ever minute.
I do miss that pause button didn?t realise how much I used it in campaign (training now without pausing in custom battles).
Got to get my head around the micromanagement of units, grouping and generally stop zooming around like a headless chicken but I guess this will come with time and practice.
When the servers up I will be online more as this is a quiet time, work wise so lots of opportunities for battles.

Do you mean the icon under your name on the left if so I was inquiring about the humorous gif animation?s under the text.

Hope to see you online for a battle.

Hi RangerLee
You will find the pause/break button far right end of the function keys F1-F12 top of keyboard(I believe the layout of keyboards in the US is the same as UK.
You can also use the P key to pause the game.
If you intend to play online I would suggest not using pause in campaign and custom games.
You need to think on your feet. I don't think you can "zoom" in STW however moving your camera close to a unit and pressing the ? key will drop the camera view onto your unit.
I have read somewhere that you can zoom close to units in MTW but I have not found this option in the demo yet.
Hope this helps will look for you online for a battle.
