Is the fact that only the first row of soldiers fight really a bug? I would have thought that in a box formation only the first row of soldiers in contact with the enemy would be fighting... Although I can see the bug in action more when the units begin to break up, or you move them around the battle a bit before they get a chance to reform. But that was in RTW as well, just not as obvious.

Recently I started a battle where my army had besieged a town, and in the pre-battle screen it stated that the gates would be open (I had a spy in the city). However, when the battle started, the gates were closed and under the control of the enemy. This has happened a few other times now that I watch for it as well.

Physically, the gates look closed but if you order a unit to move into the city they should open once you get close enough. I think I'm right in saying that the game won't let you order a unit to enter the town unless there is a means of gaining access so you don't need to risk a unit to find out if the gates will open or not.

The only caution I would raise is that on one occassion I found the gates would not open despite everything else being ok. The oddity about this was that at the time the defenders had a large infantry unit pressed up against the gates and I assumed that this unit was somehow preventing the gates opening by its presence. Once it moved the gates opened normally
