Problem sieging Sargoth

[csouth1]

I have a huge problem sieging Sargoth and I think its a pathing or collision problem where the siege tower bridge meets the wall. I Dont quite know how to describe it but it seems like my guys just WON'T move from the bridge to establish a foothold on the wall, even when they have the numbers and attack momentum to do so. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm not entirely clear on what you mean. It is worth noting the AI is pretty dumb and can get hung up at the top where the siege tower bridge and wall connect. Try telling them to follow you (F2) once you're over the gap. That may help.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the crenellations where the seige bridge meets the wall at Sargoth!!!  Hopefully this will be patched soon b/c it is a legitimate problem.  The crenellations block about have of the width of the bridge...effectively funneling attacking troops to a position of certain death where only one soldier can attack the defenders.  The bridges for all other sieges allow about three attackers to stand abreast and share the effort.

Oh, if this is the case that your people can't break the wall because only a limited amount of them can attack at once, then that's not a problem at all. It just means it's hard to take. For this issue, try leading with stronger units, or units with longer weapons, or yourself if you fall into that category. Alternatively, you can bring a horde of archers and just shoot them off the walls.

Oh dont get me wrong.  I expect sieges to be bloody...that the fun!  I just think this is a geometry problem b/c all other siege bridges meet walls at places where the crenellations dont block any of the bridge's width.  Ive taken many castles and towns and Sargoth is the only one I've found this problem with.
