CA asks for Bug List - to be fixed in the expansion

**tai4ji2x** · 05-15-2005, 08:36

just wanted to add some more info about the settlement-upgrade/FOW bug:

all units within this new blackened area cannot be selected on the campaign map unless you toggle FOW off via the RomeShell console, although you can click on the city and select the unit cards individually. moving a unit into the blackened area will momentarily restore vision, but will revert back to the bugged state once the unit moves out of the field-of-view. moving a new unit into the city itself will not restore vision either, as it become a part of the stack within the city, which is somehow now marked as "visionless". things will stay this way in all consecutive turns unless the game is reloaded. i think there is a chance it will be restored once you upgrade the residence again, though i haven't bothered to test this.

Gallic Archers (from Prologue) and Spanish Onagers (MP game) have their large unit cards missing.
They show brown peasant instead.

Flanks getting turned in city battles Too often, especially when hit with cavalry, the unit's facing will get turned into a wall causing the flank penalty even though the unit was facing the opposing unit and the flanks protected by the narrow street and no chance to get hit in the rear.

Deployment in battles sometimes gets confusing especially when your surrounded and therefore must engage multiple enemies. The only help you get is, when the pre-battle zoom-in starts you can see where your army is facing, that´s the attacking army. My suggestion is that during the deployment phase you should get some indication as from what direction the enemies will enter the battle-map either as flags on the edges of the battlemap or as cursors on the mini-map. Many times you get aided by the terrain, mountains, forrests, rivers etc to determine from where your attackers will come and your initial unit-facing determines the direction of the army that engaged you. This is a huge problem though when fighting in a non-corfirmative and non-identifyable terrain as the deserts or when your sight is reduced by a blizzard, sandstorm or heavy fog.
The ability to choose which foe to engage first is an inportant strategic feat IMO otherwise theese kinds of situations is more like an ambush-situation which is not intended. In ancient times good pre-battle intel was available through scouting and most of the time a battlefield was "choosen" by either or both sides in the conflict. This is not the situation at the present and poorly handled by this game. Any thoughts?

Just saw this today.
Sally bug
In the Carthies initial seige of Syracuse, after my (Greek) forces sally all Carthage forces die or retreat (Elephants are amok). I click End Battle with my forces outside of my town and get DRAW instead of completely breaking the seige.

mfberg, I can confirm that seige bug for you. I've had it happen a few times, and it's darn annoying to chase down those amok elephants or chariots, often at significant casualties to my troops.

Routing units running towards the enemy (trying to stay together) instead of running away. This is probably a pathing issue or something like that, But I think its a bug. (They should scatter towards their unbroken friendlies and lines of retreat, not attempt to stay together as a unit.)
