siegeing rome today playing as carthage i noticed something. When the siege towers hit the walls and my sacred bands started pouring out of them, my soldiers oddly started falling through the wall somehow:inquisitive: dieing instantly . It's very odd, it looked exactly like when a soldier falls of the walls edge only they fell through it. (Maybe i should take a pic and post it).


Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?.

All we know is that weird things do happen in siege-assault battles; particularly with siege-towers. It appears that the engine miscaluclates distances at times. (Probably a rounding error spoiling otherwise solid math - that's imperative languages for ya.)

As implied already it isn't an EB bug, and there's hardly a thing we could do (if there is any at all) to fix/improve it.

So my suggestion would be to use some less valuable troops for the initial siege-tower manning; and be sure to construct some sapping points/rams etc. as well.
