Sometimes their strategy is to hold.mebbwebb said:I've noticed the AI armies during battle getting into formations and then just doing nothing. I tried all three options in the mod options but it still happens every now and then.
I'm using the Expanded Mod Pack 2.5

As in they don't move even when being attacked? Or as in they wait for you to come and attack them?
If the AI elects to hold, they will continue to hold at the very least until 1 troop dies on either side (that will trigger the next 'phase' and a recalculation of tactics/position) and they may choose that the best strategy is to continue to hold.
But, if you're descending upon them, killing enemies left and right and all they do is stand like statues...well then we need to look into things.
I seem to remember Xenoargh trying to fix this situation by having a holding army advance forward at a slow pace every X seconds. I can't remember the interval though.Caba`drin said:The AI does poorly for the Khergits at present, this is known.
Point taken about two AI armies both choosing to hold as well. Will examine with motomataru.
Thanks. Since these are Diplomacy errors in specific lines, we need the specific cases like this where it happens so we can track it down. Tedium, but necessary.Shadic said:
Each of these three times did you hit 'escape'? It sounds like that was the case. The bug is that the in combat display is trying to update objects on the screen that are no longer there. For some reason the fix that prevented this wall of text from occurring post use of the character, quest or game log screens didn't take in the escape menu, but it usually isn't quite that long a list. Are you using something other than escape to access the game menu by chance?snouz said:--Expended--
I got these errors 3 separate times when in the new tournament.
First time I was just being killed
Second time I got in the menu, went to option, and changed something, like the toggling direction of hit.
Third time, I just went to the menu (not even in option) and came back in game
Do you need something else, like the save file?
Fair enough. You did answer my question though. Thanks and I'll see what I can do. While this isn't game-breaking, it may be annoying to some. You can make it go away entirely by turning off the in combat display in the tournament options panel.snouz said:Not following everything, but we can see on the third screenshot that the error stops when I'm knocked out. I'm not sure about the others though.
