Post-Patch: Stone Walls Bugged?

**Slaists** · 02-16-2005, 16:58

Has anyone else noticed the stone wall gates not producing any oil Post-Patch 1.2? I'm not sure about large walls and epic walls: haven't had any attacks on those.

I've noticed that in 1.2 it's much easier to capture the gate house than it was pre-patch. Pre-patch to capture the gate house I had to take 2 units threw both sides of it to the ground, post-patch I ran threw one side and it said I had taken it.

Will the oil drop if friendlies are nearby? If you were guarding the gate, the FF fix might prevent oil from dropping.

I think I've only had one battle ever where I was defending after a ram broke the gate and it wasn't in 1.2.

The oil is there, and the pathfinding is anything but better... (lost several hundred men trying to get them to run up that gatehouse...)

The way I noticed it was sending a unit of hoplites through the gate opened by my spy in Corinth. From my experience before the patch, I was counting on losing about half the unit, but I lost just a couple guys to the arrows; no oil... Maybe it had to do with the spy opening the gate. Before the patch, even in this case, the gates would pour oil.

Well it would make some sense that the spy would make certain that the oil was ruined somehow. Spilling it or something should be possible if you are able to bash open the gates.
