Heroes not fighting

[Goty]

I updated to this new version of the game, and I've noticed that Marnid and Borcha (and at odd times, possibly one of my normal troops, but I'm not sure) simply stay put where they spawn in a battle.

They sit there and get beat up on by the enemy until they get knocked out. They don't listen to commands, they simply sit there.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Make sure they are equiped with weapons. To do this talk to them and tell them that you want to trade with them and then give them a weapon.

 

[Goty]

Oh, they're fully loaded. I'm on my 83rd day heh.

This just happened with this new update.

See, I used to be active in these forums awhile ago, back in April, but sort of drifted off. I checked back yesterday or the day before and saw the update, and got back on reading the forums, and noticed this weird little issue last night. It seems to be relatively consistent.

Happens during *most* fights, but I can't figure out what it causing this. They all have melee and ranged weapons, full armor, and horses.

Any other ideas?

Be sure that they have the skill to equip everything they have.

 

[Goty]

Indeed..

They aren't really using anything that is above their limit. I double checked to make sure, and everything *should* be fine.

Remember as well, that this issue wasn't present pre .623

Well, I have the opposite problem, gave borcha arrows and bow, and he always go as mounted archer to attack enemies despite I order to hold position

 

[Quietus]

I don't give Borcha or Marnid horses since they just disobey 'hold' orders and usually are the first to get knocked down.

Do give them a bow or a crossbow.

Yes, unfortunately the squad commands are rather useless right now.
Are you saying that prior to 0.632 the heroes actually obeyed orders? Interesting.

I even find myself employing a sort of reverse psychology by telling them to hold when I really need them to attack.
It actually works quite often.
