February Screenshot Competition

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I once saw ten men jump all at once to get away from my troops. It was cool and weird.

But it's not cool when your own troops jump when ordered to get down from the wall!

If you order them to get down, jumping is the shortest way. Pherhaps you shouldn't doubleklick, running on a high wall is always dangerous.

I actually saw one poor bastard jump. He was the last of his unit and facing my angry troops... rather funny moment.

They jump on their own!?!?!?

Is that coded into the game to be purposeful or is it a bug?

I don't know, but here's the screenie:

Only that one Hoplite and the Akontistai were left. So the Hoplite decided to take his chances with a fall off the walls.

[Antinous]

I think it's just a bug. Ask MAA.

[Ca Putt]

well that's what i call "the other way out"

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Yeah, there's a pathfinding bug where units will fall of the side of the wall. I've even had them fall off the outside side of the wall. Getting guys knocked off the wall in the middle of battles is supposed to happen, but all the other times is a bug. It will usually happen when there is battle going on nearby or there is a damage/hole in the wall nearby. Once I tried to reposition a unit that was too close to a damaged wall and the whole unit jumped off the edge.

[Antinous]

That sucks!!!

That's what happens when units rout while climbing ladders.

[Potocello]

Nice pic and infua AWESOME video!!!!!

[JRG]

The Battle of Damaskos

[HunGeneral]

Very nice pics so far

About units fallling from Walls - I have also seen my own troops fall off by mistak but I have also seen desperate enemy soldiers head strait for the edge - some don't get that far since they turn there back on my soldiers and we know what happens then but thoose who do get away simply jump of the wall Althoug I have never seen entire units do it just one or two seperate sodiers.

[Antinous]

Earlier my general jumped of a wall while sieging Ispos, after he died his entire unit started to jump off!!!!

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

"Stop, in the name of Rome!"

... before you stab my heart ...

[BurningEGO]

I remember some game i played (believe it was vanilla RTW), where an enemy blew part of my wall. I told my archers to get near the part that had been destroyed, and they ALL jumped down. Lost an entire regiment that way.

[Ibrahim]

I call this one "Stop, in the name of Rome!":

I can just imagine:

*men slog through street*

*roman centurion pops in front of them*

centurion: STOP!

men(confused): why should we?!

centurio: You must stop in the name of Roma.

men: and why should we bother.

Centurio: I have been sent to stop your marauding with a small army from the republic. so to spare yourselves, stop!

men: you and whose army? *one of them points to the back of the centurio

*Centurio looks behind and around*

Centurio: oh Heck! *runs away.* *men chase him to plaza*

Fall?

Looks like he took his spear and pole vaulted off it.

[insert hysterical laughter here]

Now that really made my day!

I can just imagine:

I quite fancy it would be a Hellenistic era reworking of the duel with the Black Knight from ...and The Holy Grail.

"Come on, you pansy!"

[Gabeed]

I've seen the falling-off-the-wall bug happen quite often. Once I saw a unit of my Botroas charge out of a siege tower and, in unison, leap off the wall to their deaths. I lost around 20 men in a second. After picking up my jaw, I later won the battle, but that little idiotic incident didn't help.

[ezekiel2517]

Well, my first time participating. I didn't get rid of the map or the cursor (is it possible to remove the cursor when it is in such a place?), but I want to enter the contest anyway

Anyone else smells smoke?

[Megas Pyrrhos]

There's a hotkey to remove the map (i think it's f7 or f8, could be wrong). And as to removing the cursor....if you have photoshop, use the clone stamp tool and replace the cursor's area with the grass around it...only solution i know of...

And nice pic btw, lots of action
