..Thoughts on the game, bugs and patches

Oh, so its really, really hard. So, let's throw it at the modders rather than having our trained and salaried programmers do it.

I hope these people get the same service when they get their car fixed.

sheesh, now every time someone even tries to start a thread about the loadgame-siege bug at the official .com forums, it either gets moved and/or locked.

it's because they know it's a problem and are tabulating the bugs that can be fixed and thereby giving the upcoming XP at least some selling points

Well, unless they also fix the AI so that it has a clue how to play the game and especially how to fight then there is no point to an expansion. Even discounting the bugs or fixing them yourself the game sucks. My 8 year old son has no trouble winning on hard. Now that my archers don't shoot each other all the time I could actually probably play most of a campaign without losing very many men.

But I still have MTW:VI to play so it's only the pretty graphics that I miss. And there are other games out there that actually have intelligent AIs (Kohan 2) for some fun.

I've been reading with interest all the posts about the load/siege bug and was gutted that i had to save the game in the middle of a siege yesterday.

Anyway, just reloaded and it immediately caught my attention that Egypt is still laying siege to my Scipii town of Tarsus....

Yup, happened to me too. I had to save with two of my cities under siege (threatened to turn into an all nighter). On reloading the sieges were still up. I was playing the macedonians and the two cities were besieged by the jullii and scipii.

If the AI plans to starve out the city, the siege is not broken on a reload of the savegame. I just tested the AI sieging one of my cities in RTW v1.2. I saved the game when the AI started sieging. When I hit end turn the siege was continued on the next turn. Then I reloaded the savegame, and when I hit end turn the AI broke the siege and it's army moved away.
