I have little doubt that this topic has been brought up numerous times but I need to vent.
I do love this game. It in many ways is for sure an upgrade. Siege ai though hasn't gotten ANY better since warband and potentially even worse and it is killing my enjoyment of this game. I have 2 siege towers, a ram, and 1400 men but after save scumming 4 times we still couldn't take a city of 400. It's infuriating watching as my allied army sets up 2 towers just for 10 guys to climb alone and get slaughtered while everyone else stands still getting hit by arrows without even attempting to climb or protect themselves. Even after we finally breached the main gate only a handful of men would charge in waves against 100 enemies on the other side. We could have easily taken the walls without a doubt in my mind. I'm baffled and pissed I lose a 1400 man army because they can't figure out a ladder. Siege ai is among the most important things and if it doesn't even work properly it really messes up the experience.
