My Canons do not Fire !

[kungfuserge]

Hello;
I'm victim of some kind of bug ....I can see troops loading the canons but they never fire ....on either side.....
What can I do ? (Please not reinstall) http://www.vangagifs.com/gifs/cartoons/luckyluke/15.gif

Angle of firing - might not be correct - either too low, too high or else too many of your own troops in the way.

please check other threads regarding artillery (my D/L is a bit low at the moment). :lost:

The thing about cannon and other siege weapons is that they do not start out with fire at will.

You need to select a target or set them to fire at will. They are also pretty slow in getting off the first shot so if you don't have a long range they will be in danger of having to pull back without firing.

Hi ; The game was working fine before I reinstall it few days ago ....
Noway : The canons are mute....even if I point out The target at reach ( GREEN BOW) ...Canons don't fire on my game ( on both side )
Do you suggest anything before I reinstall ?http://www.vangagifs.com/gifs/cartoons/luckyluke/21.gif

thanks

post a screen-shot. make sure you select your cannon units when u do so that we can check your angle/settings.

heck, my cannons dont fired either. but that is because they can "see the red of their eyes" from the enemies and are about to get a taste of cold (soon to be warm) steel, or else they are in that h-spot (hard-to-get-to spot) that i cant seems to get angle from.

the other explanation could be if that you are playing the downloaded version from internet, you are missing some files. but if you are the game should crash.

I had to Reinstall it ...again .
I previously had experience that bug
Now it's working fine and the canons do fire again...but the patch 1.2 takes so long to install each time (extraction + install takes about 40 mn ).

Is it the same with you ? http://www.vangagifs.com/gifs/cartoons/luckyluke/15.gif

no patch for this old man! vanilla 1.0 all the way!

although i think i will need to patch in order to play the MODS. i will do it later. or (un)till the Kingdom come, as they said :-P

patch usually takes some time. if i am not wrong, RTW takes at least 20 minutes. thats why i dont want to bother - i can put up with shield and two-hander bugs and it eats into the game time.

I think the Huge Walls auto gaining cannon towers is quite the game breaker if you don't patch to 1.2

i had problem with current version. so i actually CANT use cannon towers without the game crashing.

i dont even use artillery except for gunpowder units, and even then, very sparingly. and guess what enemy AI units that are first to goto Judgment Day? :-)
