Need More Info Siege defence

[Pejot]

Siege defence is totally broken. Units are not taking positions on the walls and even if i put my own army on the walls they are not attacking (ranged units not shooting). No one is using siege equipment or siege defence equipment. I can send You a save file just before a siege that is always like this (tried reloading 10 times). On the other hand i had no problems when attacking (just one enemy archer stuck in gate).

Got same problem, and want to ask, how u started fight.
Cause when town was under siege I attacked on camp(on map) and choose "Help *TOWN_NAME*" and got same problem. I noticed that troops spawned like standart fight, but in town, and they don't use siege euip cause they use "default" war script. If u look, all of them try to get through gates, and no siege machines.

And I saw a stream, when guy was stucked in a city with troops and defence siege worked fine.

So, other words, when u attack siege camp, u should attack not in town, but in forest or smth, but u spawned in town, cause you choose to help town. And script works like default fight, not siege.

Same situation tried to help a city under siege.

I've done some tests and apparently You are not joing a siege but field battle (that's ingame description) but the battle takes place on siege map so they are acting like on field but with obstacles like castle and other thing from siege map. Tried also breaking through to the city and help defenders but same thing happens.

When you join the battle are you attacking the enemy army or do you join the fight by selecting the city and breaking through the lines? Because I was having the same problem but losing half my troops breaking through the lines makes things run like they should. Of course then it crashes more often than not.

Guys so this fight is essentially sallying out of the castle to fight, the problem is that they spawn you in the castle which is why you see the AI just run into the gate/walls attempting to get outside to fight. Spawn point needs to be moved on these maps to outside the castle or start with the gate open

I noticed this happened when I was NOT in the town when the siege started. I didnt want to sacrifice units to break into the town, so I attacked the siege camp, but ended up spawning in town with the garrsion and a few other parties, without siege weapons, and the ai was not attacking gates, nor did they have siege weapons.
