I don't know if this has been mentioned before, probably it has, but did not have any luck looking for fords.
Anyway, I was attacking Carthago Nova from the south (beseiging it) and I was sitting on the ford on that little river just to the south. The spaniards send a strong army to take me on, and the garrison has the 'victory or death' symbol so I am thrilled. Yeah! I can crush them in a blow!
Anyway, I get to the battle, set my Carthaginians up on the waters edge and wait for my lovely slingers to start massacring them as they slog through the water.
Hey, if I can cross it no problems during the campaign, then I can smack 'em!
Nope. We just sit there, nothing fun happening, until the entire battle runs out. I even tried to move back a bit from the edge. Since I do use time limit, I just waited them out. Not a bad win, I did not lose a man and I took the city, but...
Seems odd to me that I can't fight on a ford when I can fight on a bridge.
Anyone else see this?
