    Default most irritating thing about the rtw engine

    yes its been well established that the rtw engine is riddled with bugs and other such things, but to you what is the most irritating one?

    personally mine is when missile units get depleted during battle and seem to gain all the ammo of their fallen comrades, so you'll have 5 or 8 slingers shooting at you indefinately. doesn't sound like much but gets really annoying in street battles as they end up causing noticeable losses D:

    Probably everything except tactical warfare in comparison to Clausewitz.

    Easy, if you pursue an enemy.

    You want your light cavalry to be able to chase an enemy without you clicking how to do it.

    It seems to me that any AI missile unit retreating to the town square automatically gets a full ammunition refill when it gets there.

    Could this be an undocumented feature of the game engine?

    The most irritating thing to me is when you command a unit to a section of the map and it runs the complete opposite way. This can be even more annoying when they are almost engaged with a stronger foe!

    The thing i hate the most is when your troops get killed by friendly fire. Yes i know it's realistic but you'ld expect the archers shooting right behind your guys to have the common sense to aim a bit higher... and of course diplomacy. Sometimes it makes no sense...

    erm actually it happens especially with horse archers. Here you have them formed up in a loose line shooting at a phallanx.The phallanx moves to the flanks of your archer formation and voila! you just lost some of your boys!!! stupid stupid death !!!

    there is diplomacy in the game?

    the whole engine is bugged ... but the mod makes that less apparent
