BI Bugs (read first post before posting)
The total list so far, so read it before posting.
THE BIGGEST ISSUES!!!!
Both RTW and BI suffers from huge memoryleaks. Many players complain that the game sucks up huge amounts of memory the longer they play. Eventually the game becomes unplayable, also it seems to affect the AI...
AI doesn't count in towers in assaults. Reinforcements from allied armies that are marching to get up siege towers or ladders will march close to the walls getting decimated, sometimes even destroyed before getting there. (CBR)
Infantry acting like cavalry. Captains in control of infantry will act like cavalry and recharge when the battle isn't going their way. Needless to say that this just makes it even less likely for them to win.
When a unit of infantry is controlled by a captain it will act like cavalry and withdraw from combat to recharge. That can be disruptive for the enemy forces.
Units with FAW off don't use ranged weapons. Exception is siege equipment. Legionaries are most visible affected by this. In the case of Plumbatarii there is little point for the AI to use said unit.
AI doesn't restructure settlements. The local religion will stay put, even if it is problematic.
CTDs! They are apparently frequent to a significant number of players. Often centered on taking cities. A specific case seems to be the Saxons taking the British cities, perhaps connected with the Romano-British and their appearance.
Graphics and looks:
Scholae Palatinae has a graphical or model glitch. They only move half their head... It is rather ugly, and very obvious.
Celtic Wardogs wrong colour. Black should be white. (player1)
Officers and captains don't always have weapons. It looks rather silly when they try to beat up an enemy with their fists. Brave men.
Pictish Crossbowmen have weird attack animation. They have bowmen stance when using crossbow. (player1)
Graphical bug with Imperial German Bodyguards, their weapons are shown with black boxes around the edges. ([DnC])
Golden Band model is not correct, they are shown with two weapons (like the Arcani) yet only sport a single sword in battle. (King Ragnar)
Gallowglasses lack twohanded style. Despitethe destriction and their cards they don't have a twohanded style in battle. (Refnulf von Holland)
Praeventores, odd arm? The right forearm is off center, moved back a bit. Looks ugly, just likethe Scholae Palatinae. (Refnulf von Holland)
Scotti Chariots, British? The Celtic chariots carry a Briton flag on their rear. Shouldn't it be Celtic? (Refnulf von Holland)
Saxon Keels carry a bar. While they might be drunken men, they shouldn't be carrying a small thin bar around below their shields. Obvious texture failure. (Refnulf von Holland)
This is a problem for other roundshielded spearmen too.
Textureproblem with Clibanarii Immortal maces. There is no texture for them. They work fine enough in black though. (Refnulf von Holland)
Warlord model. The lod3.cas files doesn't work it seems. (Refnulf von Holland)
Chosen Axemen. The axe jumps into a high grip when using .cas files. The axe is misplaced. (Refnulf von Holland)
Romano-British Legionaries, losing a leg? They lack the usual two leg style that most humans have. Obvious problem.
Frankish Paladin Bodyguard. Holy Paladin Texture/model problem the unit is missing texture on body, you can see inside the model. The missing texture/mess is under the right arm, very noticable in combat. (Refnulf von Holland)
Warlord model appears to have a texture problem on both arms, black box around the sleeves near the wrist. The same models that has a damaged lod3.cas file. The problem appears on all factions that use this model. (Refnulf von Holland)
Lesser generals not being used in the expansion. Looks like they made models/textures but did not add them. (Refnulf von Holland)
Generals on the battle map do not correspond with the general models on the strategy map for some factions as they do in RTW vanilla. (example) Saxons use the saxon general on the battle map, however they use a differnt model on the strategy map that does not correspond. It should be saxon general on battle map and saxon general on strategy map (campaign map). List of factions that have the problem saxons, vandals, celts, goths, franks, lombards, rebels, and bergundi - maybe others. (Refnulf von Holland)
Hunnic generals and captains. There seems to be some messed up textures as their great blades look decidedly odd and their shields look like they are coated with some kind of bodyarmour.
Roxolani Horde Chosen Warriors, their officers are Vandals (brown).
Saxon Sea Raiders, hole in their head? They seem to lack part of their skull. (Brutus)
Roxolani Generals use the same skin as the Romans, just blue of course. (Seasoned Alcoholic)
Battlefield:
Units on FAW shoot at routers, even if they are engaged by chasers. Can be very costly, and is quite demanding on attention.
Units can charge other units in water? Not very good in case of non-swimming units, they drown. Seems to be a case of Generals mostly.
Fighting ghosts. It appears that sometimes units can end up fighting nothing after killing an enemy unit. (CBR)
Shield Wall not holding formation, WRE Auxulia (the ones with the nice breastplate) do a slow forward creep while in shieldwall formation, even when told to Stand Ground. This pulls them out of line and exposes their flanks. (TinCow)
Horse archers gets stuck on the border when they can´t outflank you. They will respond if attacked but if they can´t flank you they simply go idle. (PsreRamesses)
Celtic Slingers have odd sound. They give off the correct slingersound when they whirl and let loose, but then right after it an arrow-firing sound goes off. (Seasoned Alcoholic)
Swimming units want to swim. Rather than taking the bridge they will swim across the river. (SpencerH)
Druids in RTW 1.3. When the enemy has druids type unit in a RTW1.3 battle, the announcer gives the speech for "religious units inspire the enemy" from BI instead of the "Druids" blurb so the speech doesnt match the text in the bubble that appears (obviously). (gmjapan)
Strategic map:
Alliance in tatters, well this one is not confirmed at all. And even if it is a fact then it might be a feature. But so far both cases of the two Roman empires asking each other (player asking) for maps has resulted in immediate cancellation of alliance.
This needs some more research. CA comment on this?
Asking for alliance results in no more talks that round. Feature or bug? Confirmation?
Rebels can sally twice, when using autocalc that ends in a draw. (magnum)
Throwing games sometimes don't grant conversion stated in manual. Confimration?(Viking)
Castrum not 'visible', it continues to be the Great Hall in the city list while the Castrum is visible on the battlemap and in the browser. (Barbarossa82)
Advisor doesn't give advises for buildings? Still works for training though. Confirmation? C-F
Units, armies and generals can retreat despite out of Movement Points. In old RTW they couldn't and died if they were at the end of the 'road'. Can lead to impossible chases after battles.
No traitincrease for Assassins. Well there is for normal murdering, but there is only decreases for sabotage. You can get a decrease for failed sabotage but apparently not an increase.
Petra is the only port in the Red Sea. Makes no sense to have that port. Even less to have pirates there.
The strategic models not used correctly. Several factions use the wrong models for their generals. And in the case of the Goths they use the lesser general for their generals. (Refnulf von Holland)
Senate offices no longer notified. In RTW 1.3, while playing as the Romans, no notification is received of election to senate offices, even though characters within the faction have received such offices. (Barbarossa82)
Roman internal diplomacy messed up. The Roman factions don't stay together anymore, and might even have unprovoked Civil Wars early. They act as if they are just normal factions. (Barbarossa82)
Kotais shows only wooden stockade despite stone wall in place. (Garvanko)
Invisible Generals. The figure of a general can apparently get 'lost' making the said general invisible on the strategic map. (dismal)
Roxolani faction uses Roman skins. Their armies are blue Romans for all appearances. (Seasoned Alcoholic)
Sieges:
Units still fight to the death on walls. Can be a major problem in certain cases. Either make it so they don't rout at all (so they can be moved off the wall, or make them somehow behave like other routers.
Siege towers can become transparent, apparently only at night and through the ladders. Screenshot added later on.
Sallies end too soon. When the enemy withdraw or are routing the battle ends. Can't chase them down properly. Not confirmed. (Viking)
Ladder Limbo. Sometimes units with ladders can get into a sort of limbo where they simply will not raise the ladders. The same thing can happen to Ornagers (thankfully only to one at a time). If the does get raised the unit often end up falling to the ground. (Jambo and myself)
Spy prevents capture of gateways. Apparently only applies for the AI... Thus less problematic, but still needs fixing as te AI doesn't need to be more disadvantaged. (Viking)
Soldier die for no reason in siege towers. When the ramp falls a number of men might die for no reason, falling through the battlement. (the_inquisition)
Problematic Walls. Constantinople: north east corner of the wall is unpassable, not broken, unpassable. (PsreRamesses)
Saps random? Sometimes the option appears when you go to build siege equipment on large, larger and epic walls, other times they are greyed out with a 'this equipment not needed' tool tip. This happens whether you have units with the 'Can Sap' ability or not in your siege stack. Obviously, they are always unavailable when sieging wooden walls. (Zatoichi)
Last bolt/boulder doesn't count. You will get a loss if your very last boulder is the one that knocks over a wall (and you have nothing else to take the walls with). It seems the game calculates the chances of victory when the missiles leaves the weapon instead of when it lands.
Reversing sallies becomes odd... If one takes towers and gates when the enemy sallies it will bring pop-ups of the enemy taking them. Apparently the games doesn't recognize you. (starkhorn)
Damaged Awesome Temples float. That's right. A completely destroyed Awesome Temple floats on the battlemap. It is ca 10 meters into the air, rubble and all.
Factions and cities:
Romano-British can't build siege equipment or Bucellarii, so why have they got them in Custom Battle and can build level 4 siege engineers? (professorspatula and player1)
Missing options for modded in factions. Why not have them when they have so much else that makes them so moddable. (professorspatula)
Goths talk Greek. Yes strategos! (Barbarossa82)
Celts and Pictish Crossbowmen. Pictish Crossbowmen can be trained at a higher level of Siege Engineer than the Celtas can build. A lack of building capability or too high requirements for the Crossbowmen? (Seasoned Alcoholic)
Traits and ancilliaries:
"CharacterMarries" event still does not work, when used in scripts for generaing ancillaries or vices and virtues. What this means for common player is that traits such as Well Mannered Wife, or ancillaries like Evil Mother-in-Law will not apprear in game (exempt in few cases when they are preplaced at the beggining of campaign). (player1)
The new personality VnV system added in BI is not really working (the "hidden" traits Guardian, Idealist, Rational, Artisan). They apparently only work at coming of age while their active points are meant to work during the whole life. (player1)
Trouble with the siegeline traits. Apparently the traits don't count wooden or no walls in autocalc, thus the AI characters suffers limitation in their commandability in sieges. (player1)
Emperors revolting? Their lack of Loyalty can cause an Emperor to go rebel. That can't be right. (starkhorn)
Load of issues, at page 5 player1 has presented a lot of the fixes in his BUG-fixer. They are worth noticing.
Bug with 'Eagletaker' line? The traits mentions 100% chance of getting it, but people are reporting that this is far from the case, only a third or less recieve it.
General/other:
Gratianus Flavius of the WRE starts with a unit of archers, should of course be Imperial German Bodyguards.
"Upgrade bodyguard" building function in v1.3 imperial campaign still doesn't work for others than Romans. They still have to wait for Marius. (player1)
Something wrong with reinforcement selection. It seems that the reinfrocements are not so easily selected to be controlled or not. Often turning the selection off does nothing. Perhaps we have a selection where we haev no choice really (meant as a feature)?
Ermanaric, Leader or Diplomat? The Goth Faction Leader has the Diplomat ancilliary Translator. It works well enough (he is given the +2 Influence bonus), but he shouldn't really have it, or what?
