I'm pretty sure this is a bug:
The "toggle AI control of reinforcements" button doesn't work. If the reinforcement army is controlled by a general, it is always controlled by the AI. If it's an army controlled by a captain, it's always under your control.
Yeah I have notied something fishy with that too... Will add it right away.
Btw, this is a shot of the result of the ladder-limbo. Most of the guys here are from a unit after the intial 'limbo' unit. The same happened at another ladder attack a little way down the wall. My infantry killed almost nothing in this battle due to this.
https://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?...kers0325xk.jpg
Bug/Exploits:
- AI have problems in conquer rebel towns. Sometimes even with much greater armys AI quit from sieges and don't conquer easy towns.
- In sieges, when reinforcing ladders or siege towers, AI ignore Towers and is devasted because aproach armys of it.
- Is impossible to join several admirals in same fleet like we do with generals in land armys (problem that remain from RTW).
- I got a General that was Archer instead Germany Bodyguards!!
- When conquering citys Horde don't destroy all possible buildings (like human do) even with the message that everything was destroyed.
- ERE defend to bad Egypt and Desert citys!!! It's easy to get a landing and conquer ERE best economic citys with a small army! That important citys almost don't have garrison and Human can get it with few cost!!! Maybe CA should provide for AI always have a large garrison in ERE south frontier!
Other Problems:
- AI do many peasantas in the armys!!
- AI is very little expansive, take lot's of time to advance and conquer territorys when have huge army superiority.
- Retraining experience units keep their experience for no extra cost! Another problem that remains from RTW.
The problem with ancillary characters being copied still remains. Sometimes you move a retinue character from one person to another, but it appears as if the character hasn't moved. The character has actually moved, but doesn't appear to until you close the window down. But if you then drop the same character back onto the original person's retinue list without closing the window, you now have a copy of the ancillary character. It doesn't happen all the time, but I notice it a far bit. I'm sure people said this happened in the original RTW before.
Oh and I wonder what are the chances CA will fix all the messed up textures and models in the next patch. British Legionaries with just one and a half legs? No wonder the poor sods had no chance when they were crippled and faced unimpressed and angry Saxon raiders.
Another problems are the using of mass villagers to garrison our citys a low cost! Maybe villagers should have a penalty in giving order to citys to force players using limitanei, or even better, maybe CA retire villagers for civilizated factions......
Another problem i verified is that in some sieges at stoned walled citys, doing sappers not was available (and i had infantry ;)). And i NEVER went attacked with sappers by AI, but i guess it was only my game experience, because some people already reported it.
Other BIG BUG is:
When AI attacks with several armys, only of them build siege weapons, the others just remain quiet trying to enter when a breach is done..... and are mostly killed by defense towers.
And AI never conquer our defensive towers when they control the gates and have armys inside. It would require only 1 or 2 companys to run around the walls and conquer towers to minimize casualities in main army when it moves inside walls to the center to fight the final battle against human.
Another solution for this can be Towers only fire to outside instead inside walls.
Not all infantry can sap. Most merc infantry can, though.Quote:

I noticed playing as a ERE that theres only one province that can make a port in the red sea this is the city of Petra. Theres no reason to make a port over there, you can´t have any trade with someone.
I think theres a fewer province than vanilla.
AB~:confused:
CA better do a patch this is just too many bugs for a game that was suppose to solve many but seems that many bugs that had been fixed in 1.2 have reappeared.
Oh yes, forgot about that one... It doesn't serve any purpose other than hunting the pirates that does not impact you at all. Makes no sense to have it.Quote:

manbaps, none of these bugs are serious. They are for the most part just small mistakes. I do agree that the return ofcertain bugs is not good, but it is hardly debilitating.
Quadruple post...???

ARGH!!!
If you use up all your ammo for ornagers or any other siege engine for knocking over walls, we all know said battle will end in a loss. Makes sense since you can't get inside anymore.
But just in case your very last boulder or bolt destroys the last piece of wall (and you get that little ingame movie), then you get a loss as well.
Apparently the game figures the loss from when the missile leaves the weapon and not when it lands.
Man of the Hour characters always start with a loyalty of zero.

Right it is the warlord model, not sure if you know how .cas models work but none the less I will explian. A .cas file will load at a certian distance there are 4 .cas files then the sprites will load as the camera is zoomed out. With the warlord if you zoom out he will dissapear when .cas 3 loads and then reappear when .cas 4 loads. When I saw this I used 3dmax to open the .cas 3 file and discover that it is damaged.

Chosen axemen the axe is misplace in the .cas files if you zoom out just a litte you will notice that the axe jumps into a high grip..after looking at the .cas files lod2.cas, lod3.cas, and load4.cas the axe is mis placed
Immoral bodyguard- when the unit fights in meele the mace they fight with has no texture it is black with the texture of the bow on it. If you open up the the .dds file with photo shop you will notice there is no texture for a mace.

As far as the lesser generals go all of the moedels and textures are in the game but for some reason CA did not use them. If you noticed CA only used three differnt general models for all of the faction. Roman, Saxon, and Hun general for all the gerneral classes. What it looks like to me CA forgot to impelment the models see how the Hun general has the wrong texture, on the Campaign map goths use celtic lesser gereral as the general model which there is a skin and model but not used on the battle map. Celts use a celtic general on the campaign but a saxon general on the battle map. I was able to fix these and activate lesser generals on my own however it just looks like an oversite on CA part.

Ok, some things I've discovered whilst playing BI for some time, and also responses to what's already been posted.
Bugs
* Western Roman Empire (WRE) generals have this description in their text box on the battlefield (when you put your cursor over them):
"Imperial German Bodyguard"
:furious3:
* Celts can train Pictish Crossbowmen (PC) when capturing a settlement that contains either a Catapult Range or Siege Engineer, when PCs don't appear under any building / shrine etc in the Celtic building browser. Why has this unit been given a hidden recruitment option, when it could have been bolted-on to what the Celts already had? IIRC, the Celts can only train slingers and kerns as missile troops from their standard recruitment options.
* (Celtic) Slingers, when firing their weapons, make their standard sling-throwing sound. However, immediately after this sling-throwing sound, an arrow-firing sound can also be heard from the same unit. Sounds as if its a bug ~D
Already Posted
* White unit cards: although some of you agree this a bug, I find it useful for at-a-glance use. If you deploy more than one family member on the battlefield (as I often do to make up for heavy cavalry), you can see which of your generals "have gone to meet their ancestors", and which are still slogging it out with the enemy. If the faction leader goes under, you usually get the pop-up message on screen informing you anyway.
Also, you should now receive a "Heroic Death" message (with the picture of the yellow sword) in BI once any family member has been killed on the battlefield. I also find this a useful indication as to which family members are still alive and active - deceased generals bodyguards' will usually be sent first in the next cavalry skirmish ~D
Irritating Problem
* Many infantry / archer units in both RTW and RTW: BI don't have the 'can_sap' attribute. In RTW I went into the descr_unit text file and gave it to them all (apart from cavalry units). I just find this laziness by the developers tbh - any infantry / missile (i.e. unmounted) unit that has hands should be able to dig a sapping point after all. Especially peasants - this is the main reason I recruit peasants in the first place, so that they can be sacrificed in sieges!
One of the reasons for not using them could be that most barbarian ledears use that cool looking saxon model for battle maps, so for consistency sake, same model should be used at faction map.
Anyway, I think, countary to original RTW, that developers were really low on art staff/resources when making BI.
I don't remember a single unfinished/bugged texture/model in original RTW. Exempt wrongly colored spanish general.
But in BI, there are way too much.
I wonder will future patch(es) fix some of these problems, since usually just coders are those that work on patch maintaince, not artists.
I agree with you player1 but the problem with sm model vs battle models there is no consistency. Consistency would be the sm_model matches the battle model like in RTW. Here is a picture on how they should look on the sm.Quote:

SA, they are German because they are Germans in service of the Empire. I thought the description mentioned that much.
Added the two Celtic issues.
.
For what it's worth, the memory leak is a rule with no exception for me. Happens in each RTW and BI session:
https://img276.imageshack.us/img276/...memleak8wi.jpg
.
Also, assassins in BI don't get an increase in retinue members for succesful murders. This severely hampers their ability to murder important targets, such as enemy family members. In RTW, they received ancillaries such as 'Skilled Courtesan', 'Catamite' etc.Quote:

Looks as though all agents are bugged from receiving new retinue members.
Actually I have recieved a few ancilliaries for my asassins (or spies, can't remember), but it does look like there is a major limitation on them now.
I haven't seen ancillaries for my spies or assassins, but one of my Diplomats managed to get a foreign hostage. Granted, this is the only time I've seen an agent get any kind of retinue during a completed Saxon, Sarmatian and ongoing WRE game... ~:handball: (it was the during the WRE game the foreign hostage popped up)Quote:

Units that are able to swim will swim in preference to using a bridge. This one may not be a true bug but it's a real 'must fix' IMO.
EDIT: Just had another beautiful example of the no-bridge for saxon archers. Rather than defend the bridge, a significant Goth army decided to sit back on the map edge (brilliant strategy there). After marching the rest of my army across the bridge, I spent 10 minutes trying to line up my archers 'just right' (remember that was sometimes needed with fords) so that they might cross the bridge - but no luck. Eventually I let them swim and take the hit to their energy levels (then wasted more time allowing them to recover to 'fresh').
Anybody noticed that goths and huns can't build ports?
Probaby not the bug, since port requrements in data files are written in such way that's good chance it's the way they wanted.
Still weird I must say.
Well neither the Hun culture, nor the Nomads can build ports, aside from those Nomad factions listed: roxolani, slavs, sarmatians, vandals
Like you suggest, if they wanted all those of Nomad culture to build boats, surely they'd have just added: 'Nomad' to the building requirments instead of just some of them.
Seems CA want the Huns and Goths (and Ostro-Goths) to stay land locked and hording as much as possible. I don't think I'd want the Huns to start transporting their armies across the seas just to be sunk by pirates. But yet if they acquire a port built by someone else they can still build boats. Ho hum.
I had a problem with a seige. I had besieged a pop center and the AI sallied forth. During the battle I managed to rout most of his army and I ran into his pop center through his open gates. The game reported via subtitle and voice that my walls had been taken by the enemy, when actually it was the AI's pop center so it should have reported that I had taken the walls.

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.
Roman faction diplomacy messed up
Declaring war as one of the Roman factions in 1.3 now seems to result in the other Roman factions breaking their alliances with you, rather than rushing to your aid. This seems to be the case even if your hostile action was in fulfilment of a Senate mission - the Senate will then break alliance with you if it's not already at war with the faction in question!
SUPER BUG
When AI siege a city with 2 (or more) armys, only one has siege equipment..... The others go join the main army next to our walls (getting a lot of losses because towers)!
This is a major bug and turns off the advantage of more soldiers that AI have! All armys should get siege engines before attack!
Was the second army besieging the city or was it just in hte red zone?
I had that once ( wooden walls, no ultra high casualties ) and thta was because one army couldn't reach the city and thus couldn't build any siege equipment, however they were in the red zone and thus participated in the battle, without the equipment - which the other enemy army had.
:balloon2:
I don´t know whether this is intentional but for the Franks, the Great King´s stables can only produce Paladin Bodyguard and not Paladins, while these are distinct units in custom battles.
That's because you need monastey to build them in campaign.
Frankish Palidain Bodyguard - Holy Palidain 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.
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.
Lesser generals - not being used in the expansion. Looks like they made models/textures but did not add them.
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
Reiks
Hunnic generals and captains.
Anyone else noticed that teir great sabers look like somthing just out of the fire, big, black and patchy. In fact they look like something out of Warcraft III.
Also their shields are severely messed up.
I_BattleSettlementFortificationLevel trigger is slightly bugged.
It always gives false value for autocalced battles, making it difficult for AI generals to get GoodSiegeAttacker traits (since their combats are autocalced).
.
Also, I don't know is it intentional, but there is no seperate trigger for siege battles with wooden walls only, or for city assault on unwalled cities.
That means that gaining command stars in those cases is most difficult, since neither normal Good/BadAttacker triggers (require Normal battle), not siege triggers (require stone walls) help, so only basic Any Victory trigger runs. And that's kinda unfair since those battles are supposed to be harder then standard field battles.
Apparently, this only the case for the AI. In a siege today. I managed to capture the gateway already opened by a spy. I still believe this counts for the AI, but it isn`t a big issue anyway.Quote:

What does that do and what seems to be the problem?Quote:

For example building ladders when it is assaulting Large/Epic stone walls. Or building saps for epic stone walls (correct if im wrong but i dont think the player can). All these pieces of equpiment are greyed out when in the campaign map information scrolls, you know where you can look at the strenght of the army and such like, this suggest they arent usable. The ladders may not appear on the battle map but the saps do and they can be used against epic stone walls when one would think they cant.
Saxon archers (hunters) are problematic when moved along stone walls from one position to another. They can be placed just fine before the battle, but if they are moved from one part of the wall to another they will often not stay where you want them to be (in some cases they will run to the side of a tower and do a keystone-cops routine). Turning on guard mode and turning off the evasion (I forgot the correct term) buttons have no effect. I've also noticed that when this happens they will be holding their little axes and will not engage enemy that come within range of their bows.
I was reading another thread and realized I havent seen a storm of any kind so far. Is this a bug? I liked the storms volcanoes etc!
EDIT: I've had one flood so they must still be in but perhaps the frequency has been reduced.
This happens with all archers i have encoutered aswell as all melee troop, though the problem of them not fireing isnt an isssue with melee troops. Troops on walls often ignore orders awell and generally dont do what you want them to. Sorry cant be more specific as it seemingly random what they do.Quote:

I'm working on an elections script for Romans, that does a certain operation if the number of men 'elected' so far does not exceed a certain limit. So I had code like this:
Which should theoretically perform a specified operation 1/3 of the time, and if the electedcounter variable is not set to 1. Also, as a background for this problem, BEFORE this if-statement I have another if statement, that, if successful, sets the 'electedcounter' to 1, so that this next if-statement should not go through. Except the problem is that, if the first if-statement goes through and sets the variable to 1, then this next one ALSO has a chance to go through -- and it NEVER goes through if the first one doesn't, thus behaving the opposite of what it's intended (as if the 'not wasn't even there). So in order to get my logic to operate the way I wanted it, I now changed the code to:Code:if RandomPercent < 35
and not I_CompareCounter electedcounter = 1
removing the "not" statement. Just something for CA guys to consider when they're reviewing things to look over for the patch, because not every single instance of logic can be rewritten without a "not" statement.Code:if RandomPercent < 35
and I_CompareCounter electedcounter < 1
Sassanid Camel Riders Graphical Issue
The unarmoured Sassanid camel riders are missing their chests, so you can see right through them to the inside of their backs. This actually isn't immediately obvious when you look at them head-on but can clearly be seen by moving the camera. There also seem to be some similar problems around the rear saddle/lower back area.
I have increasing memory footprint issue and more frequent ctd's.
I can confirm the
"Swimming units want to swim. Rather than taking the bridge they will swim across the river."-issue,
and I've also had a couple of ghost-fights.
Once my general (alemanni family member) was stuck in a communal farm field, and couldn't get away for the entire battle. 2 men were chopping at some invisible enemy between them. A spear unit of mine was also fighting the same ghost, but I managed to pull them out of the fight and on to more real issues.
It would have been a cool feature if the general had recieved some "Unhinged loon" vice for it ~;)
Once I took a town, and a ghost remained just inside the gate. All my units fought it as they walked past, but even archers took no losses.
An issue I encountered once, needs confirmation:
None shall pass
A Frankish general stood at one end of a bridge as the battle started.
His friends and family marched through, though, to die at the other end.
I then tried to get at him, but my units refused to cross the bridge. It was blocked, somehow.
But the rest of the Franks got across :dizzy2:
Anyway, I just had to wait it out on triple speed.
I hope I'm not repeating myself, but just to make sure I'll report all issues I found and fixes I did with bug-fixer, so they could be dealt with in official patch.
The list of bug-fixer fixes (together with files used to fix them):
Quote:
Fixes for Barbarian Invasion Campaign
Changes in export_descr_buildings.txt file:

-Added description for 3rd level barracks for Berber faction (Hall of Heroes)
Changes in descr_strat.txt file:
-Fixed problem with Western Roman faction member Gratianus Flavius having archers as bodyguards by adding actual bodyguard unit in his unit stack
Changes in descr_model_battle.txt file:
-Fixed Mercenary Bucellarii unit model, so it will fire crossbow properly
*Made a workaround for Pictish Crossbowmen unit model, so it will fire crossbow properly
*Made a workaround for broken leg of British Legionaries

Changes in export_descr_sounds_stratmap_voice.txt
and export_descr_sounds_units_battle_events.txt files:
-Fixed voices for campaign map and battle events for nomad and hun cultures, so they'll be barbaric, like all other voices they use, and not greek or arabian
Changes in export_descr_ancillaries.txt file:
-Fixed bonuses for Bodyguard, Charioteer and Elder Senator retinue members, so they'll actually give bonus/penalty to Influence as their description says, and not only affect public order
-Fixed the bug when following ancillaries could be gained with agents: Anchoress, Anchorite, Priest of Sol Invictus, Priest of Mithras and Zoroastrian Teacher
-Fixed trigger for Drinking Companion retinue member, so it can be gained at both Tavern and Bardic Circle, like all other drinking related ancillaries and not just in Tavern
-Made Druid retinue members available in hunting shrines (Cocidius) instead of battle shrines, so that Celts could actually get them in their native temples
*Made a workaround for trigger for Mother-in-Law retinue member, so it can be correctly gained with marriage event
*Fixed triggers for Foreign Dignitary, Foreign Hostage and Pet Monkey retinue members, as well as triggers for Spear of Wotan and Sword of Chinglu relics by fixing InEnemyLands condition which gave opposite results then intended
-Fixed trigger for Amici Principis office, so it can be gained in cities with either Proconsuls Palace or Imperial Palace and not just in cities with Proconsuls Palace, so it's possible to gain this office if only possessing huge cities
Changes in export_descr_character_traits.txt file:
-Added anti-traits to some traits to prevent weird or impossible combinations
-Several anti-traits that worked in one direction fixed to work in both directions
*Added the workaround for a bug, when gaining an anti-trait would reset trait value to 0 (instead of reducing it for value of anti-trait)
*Added Disloyal as anti-trait to Faction Leader and Augustus traits, so faction leader won't get disloyalty traits
-Anti-traits for Indecisive Attacker changed from GoodCommander and GoodAttacker to GoodAttacker and GoodRiskyAttacker, so that having Indecisive Attacker trait won't prevent general from gaining Command bonuses
-Increased point awards in birth and adoption triggers for traits that need more then one point to get first level of the trait, so it's actually possible to gain those traits at character generation (expect more vices and virtues from new family members)

-Fixed the bug in trigger for GoodRiskyDefender line of traits when mildly outnumbered, since it required crushing victory, instead of clear or crushing victory like other similar triggers
-Removed "BattleOdds < 1.5", from triggers for BadAttacker/Defender line of traits, so it's possible to gain them, when losing battle in which enemy was highly outnumbered
-Removed "BattleOdds > 0.5", from triggers for Noctophilia line of traits, so it's possible to gain them, when winning the battle while highly outnumbered by enemy
-Removed "BattleOdds < 1.5", from triggers for Noctophobia line of traits, so it's possible to gain them, when losing battle in which enemy was highly outnumbered
-Added two new triggers, to make it possible that Intelligent and Genius characters could be born

-Fixed the problem when characters that are not married could get Cuckold trait (by adding IsMarried condition before check)
-Fixed the education triggers, so skill generation effects of lower level academy buildings will still work when building gets upgraded
-Split the education trigger for Ludus Magnus, so that both Romans and non-Romans can benefit from its effect, while still keeping Politics skill exclusive to Romans
-Removed roman culture requirement from trigger for refusing bribes, so that non-Romans can benefit from resisting bribes, by gaining levels in Upright line of traits that exempt other things increases bribe resistance
-Added new trigger to make it possible to gain Diplomatic Genius agents

-Corrected sabotage triggers, so that they make more sense
List of fixes for Imperial Campaign
Changes in export_descr_buildings.txt file:
-Fixed the bug when Gauls could recruit Naked Fanatics in farming shrines (and Gauls don't have farming shrines)
-Fixed a bug when Awesome Temple of Epona and Pantheon would show up in building browser for Gauls and Spanish
-Added law bonus to academy-type buildings like it's done in Barbarian Invasion expansion, so that such buildings would still have uses in cities without governor
-Holding games in arena type buildings limited to Romans only, to prevent "THIS GAMES HELD TEXT SHOULD NEVER APPEAR ON SCREEN AND SHOULD NOT BE TRANSLATED!" message appearing when other factions try to hold games in conquered roman territories
Changes in export_descr_unit.txt file:
-Added secondary attack to German Spear Warband to prevent bug when using these units outside phalanx formation
-Fixed the issue with Pontus generals, when they would never get their bodyguards upgraded like all other factions (added to unit "general_unit_upgrade" tag)
-Fixed inconsistencies in mass and armor sound for Bastarnae Mercenaries unit, compared to its thracian equivalent
-Removed "annoying" blue officer from rebel Archer Warband
Changes in descr_model_battle.txt file only:
-Fixed the wrong color of Spanish generals by giving them proper texture (should be brown, instead of blue)
The issues marked with *, are those that are workarounds for hardcoded problems.
Also, be sure to check bug-fixer readme, for details of how some of these fixes are implemented (it has GOOD readme), or what exactly they do. Download can be found in my sig, or in TWC patch download section and sticked threads in both ORG (collosseum) and COM (mod) forums.
When positioning the camera behind a unit of Saxon Sea Raiders, you can see through the back of their heads.
Their head appears to be pretty empty, by the way.
On my building browser at Kotais it shows I built a stone wall (which I did), but on the campaign map I can still see a stockade.
Reinforcement units die when waiting to enter the battle (siege/sally battles only?)
I've had this happen in a couple of battles so far. They were all sally-out battles, so it might only apply to them. I had a relief force of nomad archer cavalry units joining my garrison as reinforcements, they appear in the corner of the map and start marching into the battle area from behind the red lines. But some of them are strangely scattered, the individual soldiers spread around randomly and starting on both sides of the red line.
What is worse is that they would suffer casualties for no appearent reason. There were no enemy units anywhere nearby, some of these bugged units simply kept losing men (some of them very rapidly) untill they had completely crossed the red line (some were unable to cross and died). This bug occured the exact same way when I reloaded and tried to fight the battle again two times.
Sluggish ford-battles:
This has now happened three times so I guess there´s something wrong with the fords (rivercrossings before bridges) or some of them. Right from the start the game is sluggish and chumpy. I move the mouse and it moves with a delay of a sec or two and sometimes a command isn´t even registred or executed by the game. My first thoughts was that this problem could derrive from the "mem leak bug" but after the battle I can continue playing as nothing has happened. Now, yet another oddity that I´ve noticed is that the AI player just stands stills issuing orders like: "march!" over and over again but never moves!!!? I could run theese battles on tripple speed but that turned out to not work either!
I've two issues which are a bit of a pain.
You lose titles when a character dies like all other retinues. Shouldn't you be allowed to assign to title to a new character like in MTW?

Playing as the saxons I captured a celtic city. The unit build said I could create a warlord unit but despite the fact that I was charged the 1503 gold and the unit queue was filled for 3 turns no unit arrived. Either its a bug that the warlord was in the build queue or its a bug that it didnt arrive.
Hi everyone,
I've bought BI, and I find that everything moves slowly.
I was told to lower the settings, but could it be something else?
First, Is this a lack of memory problem on MY part (512mb Ram is what I got)?
OR
Is this a lack of video memory? (128mb Nvidia card 5600xt is what I got)?
Any help would be appreciated!
~:cheers: ~:)
First, this is a bug thread. Secondly, have you tried following the advice you´ve already got? :bow:Quote:

Another one (for modding):
It was found out that any religion that is added to the three existing ones doesn't cause unrest.
Even worse: Only the first three religions in descr_beliefs.txt ever cause unrest, the fourth and following religions are ignored by the game when calculating unrest (christianity, pagan and zoroastrian, too, if they are shifted back).
Hoard armies dont fight to death even when out of movement points; bug or feature? It means that they can exist as tiny stacks annoying the hell out of me.
All do that, it is not a specific horde feature, it is even mentioned in the first post.Quote:

Had a battle with a lone General against rebels; spearmen, peasants and cavalry. They're across the bridge. They decide to cross and attack. Peasants and General swim, spearman crosses the bridge. Spearmen arrive first, so I charge my general and push them back across the bridge as I kill them. Peasants and General, who now have arrived at the other side of the river, promptly goes swimming again(none crosses the bridge). I decide to charge peasants as they get up of the water. Almost instantly I get a message my Generals died. Get a scene where he drownes and then CTD.
Also the issues at walls seem linked to baseline of unit formations. I have notices that units try to revert to the original positions they had at the start of battle (when you position your troops BEFORE the battle begins), but fail because of the limitations of the wall. Also if you invade a city and try to position your archers on the wall, they will use ase baseline for their formation the innerside of the wall and not the outerside. Thus they can never arrange an orderly line if deployed on a wall(of the city they are invading). This obviously doesn't apply to the invaded citys own archers.
Had a similar problem when ordering lines of man to sally. They get stuck in the gate, first trying to revert back to their old(pre-battle start) alignments before marching orderly to their new appointed line outside the walls.
That part about baseline is a bit difficult to explain. I'll try and show what I mean:
__________________ Baseline
---------------------outerside of wall
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxArchers(city defenders)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
---------------------innerside of wall
---------------------outerside of wall
.....x....x.xxx....x.....x.(... are placeholders to make it look good)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxArchers(city attackers)
__________________baseline
---------------------innerside of wall
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
^Position the attacking archers are trying to achieve, while still on wall, only the wall doesn't stretch that far.
Ive found that all other armies do die after a fight to death even if they havent all died, you get the army routs message in the campaign screen.Quote:

I have an update on the units fighting ghosts if it helps any. The enemy unit is still there when they are all dead! If you move the mouse over a dead enemy body from the unit you were fighting there (and indeed still are fighting due to 1 of you men flipping out) you can still get the status of the enemy unit that you originally defeated and killed on that spot.
For example "Spear Warband (0 men); exhausted" or whatever.
I've seen the ghost fighting in 1.0 too--just last night, in fact, so that's not a new bug (though it may be more common).
If you have too many family members, the Warlord unit will turn up as a regular cavalry unit instead of as a general - so not a bug as such.Quote:

A screenshot of my famous invisible general:

Perhaps this is a feature, not a bug but "invisibility" wasn't listed in his traits.
One turn this guy just disappeared. At first I thought maybe he was bribed or died without my noticing, but then I found him still listed in the "armies" tab. From there, I could find him and use him.
At one point I had him in a city, and his unit card did not show up among the city garrison, but he did show up as the city's governor.
It was reported on TWC that when you try to record movies with a settlement, upon playback the settlement disappears and only the ground features for it are visible.
[EDIT:]Ok, I've just grabbed a few screnshots from the battlefield in my Roxolani campaign, see 2 posts down for results.
Exactly the same applies to the Roxolani on the strategy / campaign map. Each time a family member, captain or agent is selected, a Greek voice is used. Same applies for giving unit / agent orders, depleted movement points, and siege voices.Quote:

[EDIT:]I've also noticed on the battlefield that pre-battle speeches are done in Barbarian voices, but siege / victory announcements are in Greek.
So what we end up with on the battlefield is a Barbarian-Greek cross in terms of voices, unlike the the campaign map, where this is solely Greek voices.
Also (I stand corrected on this one), why is it that the Goths* in BI (not sure about the Ostrogoths btw) are of the same culture as that of the Huns, Sarmatians, Roxolani etc? Surely as the Goths originated in Scandinavia, they would be more European-looking on character portraits, unit cards etc than they do at present? Unless looking like a Hun was the fashion in those days?! ~D
*I'm not referring to the indvidual Gothic units on this point, just the generals' / agents' portraits, unit cards etc.

Adding claims like "most of the bugs will be fixed in the new expantion"
Otherwize theyd Look like right idiot's...
Becous It seems to me that theyve managed to keep Most of the origional Bugs and flaws.
And then threw in a few new 1's to boot.
Lets just hope They dont just release 2 patches that wont address even 20% of the bugs then moove on to the next profit making game,
Something makes me beleve that they will though,
I think its Previous expirience of the tw games maby.

[EDIT:]Updated screenshots relating back to 2 posts earlier, after trying out the Roxolani faction. Also discovered Roxolani Herdsmen's formation appears to be too loose
As with the above strategy map faction general models, add the Roxolani to this incorrect list. On the strategy map they have the Roman General skin, as below:Quote:

Same skin applies on the battlefield:
