Neverending siege assaults

[Yozhik]

Sometimes (5% of time or so), a siege assault "never end". The soldier is standing/siegeging as opposed to storming a tower, but the battle sounds are still there. No new assaults can be initiated until the reinforcements (even 1,000 cavalry) arrive.

The sieging force is large enough to keep assaulting more, and it maxes out its morale sooner or later, but, nevertheless, no reinforcement = no new assaults.

Sounds like a carry over from the EU1 bug list. Just to clarify how that one worked:

1) You begin an assault
2) Your losses drop the army size below the minimum allowabe for a siege (in effect you are dropped to cover status, although the siege status stays the same)
3) Battle sounds continue
4) You rip the cord out of the speakers because you can't take the noise anymore

Is this the same, or a variant?

I have had a variant which I think is a holdover from EU I.

The assault button is lit and when I click it I get the sound of the cannon but no assault takes place. I click again and the same result. After about 7-8 clicks I give up and just besiege. The odds numbers or whatever they are called do not change during this time.

IIRC this happened when you click on the province, the siege gets displayed, and then click assault. If you click on the army within the province it should work.

Actually in my case the siege animation is no longer there, and the army size is still sufficient to keep sieging... As I said, the only thing that helps is bringing over, say, a thousand new men...

Try this, march those men out of the province, march back to restart the siege. Let me know if the force is large enough to siege, and not cover.

well there is a bug more then that!

you siege a city and you are told, it will be 12 months and the rating to the right says 2 or 3, then a year goes by and nothing has happened, sometimes sieges dont seem to do anything.

or when you are told, 9 months left, 2 months later city falls, no new reinforcements arrived and your troops just needed 1 more month

or even worse, your 20k siege a rebel held city and 5k rebels hit another city, what normally happens is, that the city rebels hit surrenders before rebel city surrenders to me
Even when you have been sieging 1 month or more longer then rebels

Dave, the length of time displayed is a guide, not a guaranteed time when the province will fall.
