I am SO mad at the game that I took the DVD out and I'm going to play Oblivion for the rest of the day instead.
I'm fighting as Spain against the Mongols in defence of Jerusalem (whee!).
Got killed the first couple of battles - fine - but I managed to kill one of their generals in each battle (hurray!) - and my forces are, at the moment, without an actual general! (in hindsight, that may be a good thing!).
Anyway, three bugs occured in the game which drove me nuts:
1. reinforcement unit of feudal dismounted knights get stuck behind a rock. I can't change their "entry direction" despite all my attempts - they're from a second army entering the field. like 44 of the 48 guys are on the field, but 4 guys are stuck behind a rock? WTF?![]()
2. The TIMER KICKED IN! I'm 99% sure I said "no timed battles", but the game chose to ignore that (unless there's that 1% chance I screwed up and enabled them - which I very much doubt!).
So the game ends, just when I'm about to kill another enemy general! Gah!
Interestingly enough, the Mongols - who've been sniping me from a hilltop - bastards - rushed me when the timer started counting down! WTF?
- Mongol General looks at sundial -
"'bout that time, eh chaps? Very good, onwards with the raping and the pillaging"
3. To add insult to injury, the game crashed when the battle ended and I returned to the campaign map. Gah!
Hence the error message in the subject line. Please tell me someone else has experienced something this ridculous before too.
Also, what is UP with the sheer cliff faces in the hills north of Jerusalem or west of Damascus? I've had battles where the opposing armies can't touch each other because they're on opposing cliffs! Gah!
