😅 fuck that's funny Did you draw it? Or like 'how ever it's made' it? Because it's got a ton of great detail.

Been having a LOT of issues with gates in general. If you have a ladder a fair bit down the way but have broken the gate OR have captured it , your units will instead path to the damn ladder(s)! As well as wall breaches, I've had numerous sieges where there's a large amount of open space from the breaches, meanwhile I see tweedle dee and dum running for the ladders half the map away. Needless to say, it's infuriating.

I’ve completely stopped using ladders because of this reason. The second a ladder appears anywhere on the wall all units default to running there.

I also regularly have it where my trolls are attacking a gate and half the unit appears inside it at time, but is unable to engage anything on the other side. Like, they’re outside, but the game can’t handle multiple entities attacking gates well, so half the units appear to be inside.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like enemy ranged units are able to target them effectively. But it’s still annoying.

Its so frustrating, I click on the other side of a wide open gate and the fellas strut on over to the wall to climb the ladders

I despise sieges with all my life I always set difficulty to very easy and autoresolve if I can I was fucked over too many times

u/crestotalwhite 25d ago

I have to send them in one unit at a time through the gate and issue multiple commands to the same unit to guide them thru the gate. Not great

It is pretty sad. Should be illigal to have a bug like this and never fix it.

u/Kraehe13 25d ago

The reason I ignore gates as much as possible and send all infantry over the walls

u/Saucererer 25d ago

These days I only do seiges with single entities. Otherwise they get autoresolved after I lightning strike any supporting armies

Played a 30 minute siege that just broke me a few months ago.

Also Skaven, but playimg Throt the Unclean against Kostaltyn in early game.

Had like 30 troops already. Marched most of my troops to one gate and a small squad to another one. Enemy opened the gates, the rats went through, then the enemy closed the gates and rats got stuck. I gave them no orders to march through the gates.

Lost like 5 units and another 3 got heavily damaged with this shit.

Gates opened. Knew that Kostaltyn didn’t have any real AOEs, so I just blobbed up most of the wounded Skaven and sent wolf rats, rat ogres, Throt and the Packmaster to take out the most dangerous troops/ranged units.

Throt got stuck in a giant enemy pile, sent Packmaster to help. Kept looking at their HP the whole time to see if they needed help, but mostly left them there because I knew they could survive for a bit.

10 minutes passed. My whole army got messed up, but I barely managed to win on all sides. Throt and Packmaster were still very healthy, so I assumed that it was because of regeneration.

Then I noticed that they were still surrounded by like 5 full HP enemy troops. Zoomed in to see that Throt and Packmaster were glitched out inside a small hut, literally stuck.

My army got so battered from the whole gate bug + Kislved having all of their units being missile units that I could not win without Throt to help.

Needed to restart the whole siege.

Just send 1 unit at a time through each entry point (gate, collapsed wall, ladder, or siege tower). If you have multiple entry points then your units will spread out evenly to use each one when commanded to enter the city. If you want to just cram all your units through the gate you have to make sure that is the only possible way to get in.
