Defending archers do not do enough damage in siege.

OT, but I have not found that. For example, assaulting a fortress at Gaza (1.2 unofficial patch, there was no way to get my men from the outer wall to the inner wall, even though the walls were connected. If I clicked on the inner wall adjacent to my men (separated only by a tower/house thing), they just stood there: there was no move icon on the unit, as the target was inaccessible.

iirc it's not every castle, only those of [north/south/east?] european design...

I think the inner wall passage only works for the defenders? Not too sure on this.

Oh please don't tell me only europeans forget to lock the tower door

? Will that explains why I could not move from wall to wall. I was trying to do it in the Holy land.

Now I need to read the bug reports to find out if it is a bug that I can or can not move wall to wall. I vote for can not

unless my spy opened the front gate too. Thanks for the Info. I would like the defending archers to do more till I am outside looking in. SadCat

I've not come across a castle yet where its not possible to pass men through from the outer to inner wall.

However, its normally only possible on one side. The fact that you mentioned a 'Town/House thingie' suggests to me that you were trying to wrong side as the side where it is possible only has a small tower set on the curtain wall facing the outer courtyard. The actual join between the inner and outer wall is just plain wall with no towers on buildings guarding it.

The passage through the building might be accessible to defenders only, although I'm more inclined to beleive its just not accessible to anyone.

However, the access on the other side is unguarded as mentioned above.

I did try both sides - neither were accessible.

The unofficial 1.2 patch fixes this problem i believe.

Please defined fixes? Thanks SadCat

Ah!...That might explain the reason our experiences differ. I'm still playing 1.1.

BTW: I second SadCat's query 'Please defined fixes?'

e.g. have they redesigned the castles so the walls no longer meet, or is there now some magical force field that stops your men walking along them.

I played Egypt yesterday and got some Sudanese gunners. Used them in a siege on the walls and they are even worse than archers. Don't hit anything at all. Again same issue, they don't shoot straight in front of them.

Does anyone know how we can fix this ? Any ideas ?
