Was enjoying my new campaign up to this point then ...
I tried to siege a Khuzait city with about 300 defenders - 50 garrison , 250 recruits. I had 340 troops, mostly grade 3 - 5 , 180 Infantry, 40 archers, 50 Cavalry, 30 horse archers, 40 skirmishers. City was Syronea. I had 2 siege towers. When I attacked , my siege towers slowly moved to the walls, no soldiers tried to climb the ladders while towers moved. When they reached the walls, soldiers slowly, and in single file, climbed a single ladder, leaving 2 other ladders untouched. I watched in horror as my soldiers were exterminated, red labels filled my screen. In the end most of my men were dead, and the defending Khuzait recruits were climbing down my towers to attack my archers ..
I lost most of my men, he lost about 20 - 30 soldiers ..WTF !! I understand attacking a city would be costly but I expected in the later stage of a siege, when my troops gained the walls, My quality troops would get the advantage. .. but NO!
(1) Are random number used to bias a side ?
(2) Do Khuzaits get an advantage ?
(3) Do city defenders get a large bias ,ignoring other factors ?
(4) Shouldn't Siege tower be full of troops BEFORE it's pushed to the walls ?
(5) and why aren't I allowed to attack other parts of the walls, sides, rear (sneak a ladder onto the rear wall)
HELP !
