Can't get out my troops from Client cities

**Little Legioner** · 10-19-2007, 09:59

That's really strange,

I've two Type IV cities of Sardis and Sidon. After my conquest i converted them into Type IV class government and the puppet Tyran has come and etc but...

I can not get out my troops out of city! In Sidon i've got a huge garrison and Ptolemaoi constantly threaten my region from south. If i can not sally my troops then i'm stucked to death.

Is there any people experienced the same issue?

Do you mean you can't sally in a siege or that your garrison can't leave the city on the campaign map?
I can't help you with the first problem, but for the second, make sure you haven't selected the client ruler when you select your garrison. He has -100% movement. Hope this fixes your problem.

I can't sally my troops for a counter attack in a siege and i can't get out my troops from city. I know that client ruler can not leave the city but what's wrong with the troops?

In Sidon there is one client ruler, a general (family) and eight or nine troops. I've tried to get out my general and failed. Tried to troops... Failed again.

General alone, troops alone or with the general. I really don't know what's wrong.

If i make the long story short i cannot leave the city at any conditions and i need any kind of help.

Thx

I have this in massalia -when enemy army is right near city I cannot attack them. In normal cases when you select one unit and attack the enemy near city all other units will join attack-and from my opinion that is the problem- ruler join also battle, but he cannot move so attack cannot be done.....

It's sad because Sidon besieged by a small force of Ptolemaoi first but i could'nt attacked them at the right time and they supplied their army and i'm melting down while i'm waiting the attack.

I must return back one of my old save and see what i can. It's so waste of time

Or someone tell us what can we do

I've never had that problem. I'm not sure what to advise you to do. Did loading a savegame help?

That'll be because you can't order part of a stack to attack and enemy army/city. The whole stack must take part, and if part of it has no movement the attack can't proceed. The answer would be to move everything except the client ruler out of the city and then attack. I expect the client ruler will then show up as a reinforcement in the battle anyway

Of course, you can't do the above if the city is besieged, so I suppose you must attack with an outside force and have the garrison appear as reinforcements. This presumably hurts the AI on occasion due to having huge garrisons pinned and starved out by little armies.
