If not a bug still something that has to be tweaked (AI campaign behaviour)

Vassal of Swadia. At war with the Rhodoks and the marshal leads all the lords to lay siege on Vulca which is relatively defenseless (I had beaten alot of Rhodok forces in the area). Sweet, finally some results I think as the battle would be about 250 Rhodok defenders vs our 1200.

Then the king announces a feast in Dhirim and the whole army breaks the siege and heads for the feast...with the Rhodok army advancing on one of our cities.

Geesh.

Another issue. Asked a friendly lord to attack a castle which was low on defenders. He agrees and I go there ahead of him and lay siege to it. With his army waiting politely next to mine I attack only to see his forces not joining mine. Weak.

Oh but I do love the game. The most fun I've had in years with any game. =)

Andreso... when you tell em to go a Fort... wait until they build an ladder/siege tower.... when they are ready to attack youll see an menu under take a different course meny should be an menu... lets storm the castle together! tell him to start the siege and THEN join them.

The main change in the ai I'd like to see is soldiers simply spacing out a bit. Facehugging's bearable, but bots hitting each other all the time is a bit stupid. Maybe then we could see melee ff rewarding more for skill and heroics in singleplayer just as it did for multiplayer.

Thought about letting them lay siege, hope for them to attack and then join. Didn't know there was an option for it. Can I always say "lets storm the castle together!"? If so sweet! Getting tired of the main army standing around cities doing nothing. Thanks.

Had another issue just as after these but that's not for this thread. Funny to mention though as I got three annoying things in a row I've mentioned the first two. What happened after that is I storm the castle on my own and things go well. I'm on like 5% health but there's only one Rhodok Sharpshooter left in a tower and my knights close in on him. I can't refuse to join them and tries to hack at the sharpshooter from behind while he's engaged with them. No dice. He blocks my strikes while striking at my knights. Could it be my friendly troops were too close and I hit them? Weird though. As if a force field surrounded him. Then he turns around and kills me and dies at the same time Got the win though.

Yeah when you tell em to go to a castle or Town they will auto start building siege tower/Ladders, you just have to TELL em when to assault after they are ready. Its the first one at the place that you need to talk to.
