Siege tower ladders still have issues

[ironiccookies]

I was testing siege battles to see if this was fixed. Apparently not.

Spoiler

Only some went on the right ladder and nobody went on the left one. Everybody climbed the centre ladder.

Spoiler

Enemies are still climbing down the ladders.

It's not just Siege tower, AIs bugged out on regular ladders too. Beta 1.4.1 seems to break something with siege AI, they are doing worse now compare to 1.3

At this point I've made peace with the fact that it will always be this way. Maybe they will fix it for a short time, but it seems so fragile that it's bound break again sooner or later.

They should ADD more ladders, and make Them use it ?
In MB 1 we could make archers stay behind ladders, and get inf. To charge

I now ignore ladders. Just take down the walls else be willing to take heavy losses.

Knock down walls. Ride horse in and jump over infantry. Sneak around murdering everyone. It's my favorite thing about new siege. A lot of the 1257 ad mods had nice siege maps for sneaking in and snipping too!

Haha yes, my favourite too. Long glaive + cut through everything then you're REALLY chopping em down.

Ok, but there is a risk, when waiting 4 the walls to come down, the enemy Can assemble a Big army and jump you

This video says it all ... how is this still possible, tree months after release ??? Please explain. This has nothing to do with early access.

 

[KyDeezy]

Lol yeah. That's the catch. But it also means you've tied up a larger army from taking one of your fiefs.

Because it's not released

The video performance in sieges has improved a lot with the patches. Everything else about sieges has somehow gotten worse.

Fix Siege AI mod is the only thing I've found that can make sieges bearable without having to demolish the walls every time.

It took them 8 years to complete this version of the game what are you even expecting? I wasn't even sure we would get this much update. I'm not saying the devs are stupid btw, they are mostly inexperienced, especially in management

Ladders will break completely if you're leading a siege and issue a charge order. I had a situation where I issued a charge order intentionally so nobody would go up the ladders, and we picked all the archers off their walls. After that was done, I couldn't get anyone up any ladders at all. Selecting a unit and clicking on the ladders did nothing. Only when I issued a movement order to the courtyard did they figure out what they should be doing.

Keeps them from doing bad stuff though. Endless conga line to their deaths.

Same for me, nobody is climbing the ladders when I order it, same for breaking the second door after the ram broke the first one, and same for the siege towers.

I'M GONNA...... I'MMMM PATCHINGGGGGGGGGGG AHHHHHH

I am certain that sieges will work perfectly after another eight years of development.
