Siege Towers

[tellapan]

I have noticed - to my extreme irritation - that quite often my units fail to climb up the tower but instead seem to get stuck halfway up so you can still see the last few soldiers still at the base of the tower. Does this happen to anyone else and how do you stop it. Clicking or double clicking elsewhere does not work

I don't think that has ever happened to me. How odd and unfortunate. May i suggest you try the buf fixer-for RTW- found at the forge is it? May I also suggest you patch the game if you have not already done so.

If these don't work, may I suggest reinstalling your game. You can keep a copy of the save games if you want to keep them.

Its common for soldiers to refuse to enter a tower. But have not seen them stop half way through climbing.

The top level of the seige tower has to fill up with men before the bridge at the top of the tower lowers and they can run onto the wall. During that time soldiers are climbing inside the tower yet it looks like no change at the base of the tower.

I've had that problem before, but for me it was fixed by not clicking on the part of the wall the tower was adjacent too while they were already climbing. This "re-issued" them the same order (I.e, they will climb the tower simply by selecting to move the tower into the "seige" position), and they would pause in their climb while the computer did what it does. Eventually they would start moving again, but it took a while. Double clicking and clicking elsewhere just seemed to "confuse" them while they were climbing :wall:

This was when I had started playing the game and hadn't quite figured stuff out, hadn't installed any patches (so I don't know if this suggestion will help you at all even :shame: ) and was too eager to get my men killed :oops: Since then (and after all required patches) i've never encountered it again.

Hope it helps....

Are you sure the tower was not damaged?
