ultra sized units: cannot enter buildings...

[johnhughthom]

My units can enter buildings on ultra, I have had line infantry in buildings many times. If you look at the building it tells you how many men can fit inside, some of the smaller buildings can only hold 80 so ultra sized line infantry won't fit. I have noticed a few occasions were my men won't enter the building for no apparent reason though.

Hmm... then my case must have been one of those. I had a building that could hold 500+ troops, but would not take and ultra-sized 160 men line unit.

There are some units like pikemen that cannot enter buildings. That might be the problem.

Trying to use a pike in a crammed room with 80 other men doesn't sound pratical.

no, that was not the problem. i was trying to put a unit of linemen into a building. the building capacity was around 500; the unit size on ultra = 160. still, could not put them inside.

odd, ive never had this problem. i play on ultra, and only a few times have i ever had a building too small to fit my men in. and then that makes sense. i usually dont garrison buildings however. if you think about it, yah, it gives you some cover, but, honestly, you can only have like 10 men max firing at once. plus a well-aimed cannonball will annhilate most of your unit. trust me. one time i had a single unit of line infantry facing off against 5 units of native irregulars in a building, and killed almost no one. i tried again with them taking cover behind a wall in single line formation instead, and i still lost inevitably, but i killed many more men. unless you have less than 40 men in a unit, dont bother garrisoning any buildings. its pretty useless, plus melee infantry and cannons will destroy you.
