Siege Weapon rebellion ?!!!!

[Mr Durian]

lol, There was this rebellion when I played as the Byzatines I conquered Palestine or some Eygyptian territory. A rebellion soon poped out, and by looking at the flag in the strategy map the rebel army looked pretty big.
However to my surprise when I went into battlefield mode I was surprised or just numb founded at the AI's stupidity.
The whole goddamn rebel army was just made up of 12 or more ballistas.
Did anyone had the same curse or blessing?

yes, in Sinai,
they did not even fight and ran directly.

mindboggling to imagine a group of rebels plotting their coup for years by chopping trees in sinai (!?) to build 12 giant arcs and then running as soon as they see the enemy.

Sounds like a monty python rebellion to me

Must be a bug... I have seen it too, and it has been reported by many.

Fortunately it's not all that common...

Apperently there was a mixup between the Palestine Liberation Party and the Party for the Liberation of Palestine. Most of the infantry were killed when the two groups mistakenly clashed under the castle leaving just the siege weapons with their catapults dangling in the wind.

I had the same battle. Cavalry, LOOSE, in a really long line, running full speed. That seemed to do the trick. They fired at me until I got close, then ran like hell. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Don't forget about the Popular Front! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

The Creative Popular Bugfixers have arranged for the rebels to be less, er, "ballistic" in the patch.
