**MrCookies** · 03-17-2005, 07:20

Can someone please tell me why when i get sieged and am being attacked by the Spanish is Narbo Marcius(sp?) that my gates are alwayyys open!They are not damaged, I am not sallying forth, they are just open, ive battled there at least 5 times by now(and won each one) and the gates are always wide open. BAH!I am pissed!I guess ill just have to kill the spanish so they wont attack there anymore.

You have an enemy spy in your city.

Its true, simple as that really.

Must be a good one if the gates are always open.

You could use it to your advantage- pick up some merc phalanxes, post them inside the gate and wait for teh spaniards to impale themselves on spikes as they all surge through the gates.

My thoughts exactly. Well they were until i met the Gaul tanks

Phalanx? What Phalanx?

That happened to me and I was royally pissed, until I realised I had to put my own Spys in the City to eject him. Once that happened a few times I realised I then needed an assassin to kill the little bugger so he just didn't walk straight back in.

He was a Briton Spy and he was damn good. Sometimes the AI is very good like that.

With the 1.2 patch, I see a LOT of agent activity on the part of the AI factions.

Yeah, I've lost at least 5 family members in my capital recently in my current campaign

The only city that can build assassins is under pretty much constant seige or repairs/retraining.
The one I did manage to build was useless & got killed after several misses
