Closed Cannot Set Groups or Command them In a Defensive Siege

[qmax]

Summary: When defending in sieges, I set up groups with leaders and the system ignores them and any groups with archers in them ignore commands after the siege starts.

Hi
They need the save,

Are you mercenary ?
If lord in kingdom, does the king was with you ?

Archers in "Scatter" will ignore orders and try to spread across the walls, if you get them in line formation, they'll stay where you order them.
Infantry has a very annoying tendancy of moving between defense points, even if there isn't really a need for reinforcements.

In my experience, sieges work best by not touching anything, just auto-deploy and pray. Trying to command troops in siege often leads to defeat, when it should be an easy win, like in theory a shield wall in front of the ladder/tower landing/gate should hold, but in practice doesn't work cause the AI just bypass them.

How do I load the game save?

How do I load the game save?

It's in your document folder
...\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves

MArdA didn't ask for, so it look ok

The workaround of changing their formation seems to work so maybe this one can be closed, no change.

The AI on sieges is pretty good, let it do it's stuff.

Defenders won't man the walls initially, to reduce arrow casualties, then when the enemy gets close to the walls, the defenders race up to walls and defend. It's really pretty smart, nice to watch too.

I have been playing Mount and Blade for decades and the AI is not better than me in defending or attacking castles, so it is frustrating to have the system ignore the setups that are created before the battle starts, why even have the screen if it is going to be ignored?
