[RTW] People falling off walls.

Obviosly, I think it's suicidal that units should fall off the inside of a wall. They should instead take the stairs down when I order them somewhere... It'd be a nice feature since you can't babysit them all time, and you have very little reaction time if they walk the wrong direction.

I've only had engaged units fall off the wall. The only other case is if they are getting shot at occasionaly they will fall to thier death but that man is already dead. I do'nt think walls have a problem it's body's of water where the problem comes from.

Now there is a siege tower bug where all the men jump to the ground instead of onto the wall and that will be fixed in a future patch

If you give a run order to a unit on a wall, and another unit is on the stairs, or part of that unit is blocking them, they can get partially stuck around the tower entrance, and the overspill will push some of the troops to their death, no enemy influence required.

I love it as a feature, and have since been carefull to make people walk on high walls.

I had them fall to their deaths when I had them standing on a piece of wall that looked like an L.

I clicked on the other arm of the L and they fell off.

One thing that annoyed me was units drowing in the rivers. I lost my best general as he lead his cavalry detachment across the bridge to seal my victory against the Gauls, but the units was to wide and the general and several of his men went to their watery grave....

I just can't get pissed at the river suicide bug. It's too funny! I keep thinking of the Suicide Brigade from the Life of Brian.

"We are the Judean People's Front crack suicide squad! Suicide squad, ATTACK!"

I assualted a town with a seige tower, I had a unit of legionaires on the wall (custom battle) I was fighting a gruop of archers and there were about 5 archers left on the wall, instead of fighting my men they jumped off the wall. I laughed so hard!!! I was surprised that they did that. Its was great.

A worse bug is when you give an order to a unit that is half on the wall and half below it (using ladders) the unit will stand there and accept no more orders
