Archers Running out of Ammo in Settlements?

[megger]

Here's a gameplay question: Should archers really run out of arrow while they are in a settlement? Seems to me that out in the field they would run out, but during a siege, I would create as many arrows as possible to make sure they do not run out. At the very least, they should have more than they can carry around with them, it seems. (Especially since they have all their arrows again at the next battle, even if it happens during the same turn).

If they didn't it wouldnt be fair to the AI. dont believe me? Play Arcade and see.

Yeah, true. On the other hand, I constantly run into this scenario: I defend a settlement until I run out of arrows. Then I move my archers off the wall and the enemy can't get in because they do not have siege engines yet. Now, I wait for the remaining 3 quarters of the battle while the timer runs down (which can be slow even in the fastest mode). Then, I try to break the siege again, and I start the whole process over.

So it gets a bit boring yet I still have the same advantage as if I never had run out of arrows to begin with. Little gameplay difference, but lots of boredom. In fact, I am writing this message while I wait for the battle timer to run down...

you can just quit the battle and come back, the ai wont send your units out so you wont lose anyone. much quicker

The problem is that almost every time I do this my complete army disappears. That bug is kind of a turn-off if you ask me...

you only lose units when your attacking. when your defending a settlement you wont lose anyone
