LADDER BUG
Has anyone been able to use ladders? I'll set it up in the build que, end my turn, and when I make my assualt, it says i have ladders. Then we get to the battle map, and I have none.

WITHDRAWAL BUG?
I lose pieces of my army everytime I withdraw voluntarily. I've ordered withdraws without firing or taking a shot and lost half my men). This definately needs to be fixed.

SIEGE TOWER BUG
Seige towers don't always work. The last siege I made, my men all climbed into the tower, opened the door, and proceeded to fall through the wall(!!). I lost 2 full strength groups this way.

Did you have enough troops to carry the ladders? Just wonder, never tried to build enough siege equipement to run out of men to carry it.
I did use some ladders at one siege, worked fine for me.

I built one ladder per unit and nothing else.

Actually, losing forces when withdrawing seems logical to me. You surrender the field, your armies are marching off, and the enemy army can take pot-shots at you.. they cant utterly destroy you, but since you turned your back on them they can hurt you..

that one, at least seems more like a feature to me..

The other ones sound nasty enough though..

I have had no problem with any siege equipment. The ladders, towers, saps and rams have always appeared when ever I ordered them built.

Perhaps only certian troops can use ladders, like only some can sap. For instance, I can't see archers/slingers using a ladder. They don't want to go up there. Can't see cavalry using ladders either. Just some examples.

Same here - I've used them all and they worked flawlessly. I even moved the ladders from one group to another with no problem.

Ladders as was said if you have all cavlry the ladders wo'nt work or other units that ca'nt use them
