Hey all,
First post here (seem to have lost my old account or it's inactive), but I'm no newbie to the Total War arena.
Playing as Venice on turn 86 I am fighting a hard and long campaign against Byzantium (they never give up, and provoked war within the first turns of the campaign).
I have captured Durazzo and Thessalonica and am preparing a large siege force towards Constaninople. My issue is concerning their superior numbers attacking my forces - forcing me into clear defensive positions - and then not attacking! Their infrantry and cavalry will get in range of my crossbownmen and even peasant archers and just stand there - taking mounting casualties and all. I will empty all of my arrows and they'll just stand there - waiting for me to attack.
This is happening frequently as well with a short war I am having with Hungary - they will field thousands of Dismounted Fuedal Knights that are nearly impervious to my arrows - but they will stand in range and wait until I charge. We're talking superior numbers and standard of soldier...They will be up against my a few hundred spearman, archers, and maybe one or two sets of cavalary that I arrange for a flank. But they will simply stand there and make me sad. :wall:
Has anyone experienced these sorts of issues? I noticed the patch notes (which I have not had a chance to install) may fix an issue with "AI armies not charging"), but I don't know if this will directly impact my problem.
Thanks and happy gaming - I'm still engrossed with MTW2 (best yet, IMO).
Note: I am playing with no time limits in battle. :yes:
