Right now I often don't see the "gear icon" at the second gate at all. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.
ALl I can do is F1 + F2 and hope they help me in breaking the gate when they see me doing it, but this doesn't work very well in practice and it leaves the player vulnerable to being one shot by people in the castle dropping rocks from the top.
Can any of the devs advise?
@Callum @Duh_TaleWorlds @mexxico The siege AI needs work for sure and there should be an easier way to order a group to engage specific targets like the second inner gate in a siege.
Sometimes the AI also has issues with using ladders, such as standing around and getting slaughtered rather than climbing or only using 1 ladder.
Siege towers have bigger problems. The AI doesn't use all 3 ladders in siege towers, so in practice there's no benefit to bringing siege towers (and when they get destroyed, there's no "backup"). In practice right now siege towers are not worth it.
