well a new unit the (swordfish) is already mention t before and that didn't go so wel.


I thought that were just game mechanics like you said, but that was in the TSK original.
In the remake this was "fixed" I thought

It is already changed in RC's, now, if you click "attack" on enemy unit, ranged units are walking towards it to get in range and if first row is able to shoot, it shoots. If unit is closer, all ranged units that can reach it, are shooting. It is possible now to change your targets with that, like when you're shooting something on left, see enemy unit apporaching from right, you can click on it and ranged will change their target without having to make turn right manually, like it was before.

I think all players who play vs the AI (for example in single player) are already aware of this bug, and maybe it has been mentioned before but not sure: if you have two or more archers, you can keep the AI busy for eternity since they chase the unit that fired last. So they will be running to and from those two archers. If you have the perfect setup you might even be able to kill all units with F8 and without watching, but not sure about that. Given a lot of time, it is certainly possible to kill all enemy units if there aren't too many. For example: I was just playing 3 crossbowmen vs 5 pikemen and already managed to kill one before my freshly built watchtower killed the others.
In missions where you can build, it is easy to abuse this. You can distract a pretty large army while building towers and so kill it.

Another bug I found: the AI seems to be able to 'cheat' with units that engaged in a battle: that group of 5 pikemen I just talked about first got into a fight with a single axe fighter. But it turned into a 1 vs 1 battle because the other 4 pikemen started chasing my crossbowmen!

Well they follow archers when you order melee group to attack them until the all units in ragned group is dead

What are you talking about?

Pour Grammer ~Ben

What he means was:

If you for example send a knight for a bowmen group. The knight will "hunt" the WHOLE group, until noone of this group is alive

Yes but that is not a bug, nor has it anything to do with what I wrote.

I know. I just said what he has written down

Today I played Mission 18 TSK and I can't finish it. I destroyed enemys and houses but it's not finished. Whats wrong?

Well in TSK18 you have 2 Goals:

1. Destroying all important buildings (Storehouse, School and Barracks) from the enemy (Player2)
2. Killing all Soldiers from the enemy (Player2)

If you have destroyed everything, you can use x300 for a few min, mabye somewhere a group of soldiers are left

If you can´t still win or you have checked the whole map tell me again. As far as I know someone else than me mayde a hotfix for this mission, because the inital attack was too hard. Maybe this guy mixed sth up with the goals?!


EDIT: Just quicktested this mission. Destroyed all storehouses,schools and all houses where the AI could get food for their soldiers. Put x300 on and after 30 min I got the message "YOU WON".

Thats the get-a-coffee-bug!

I didn´t get that one. So you have tried it like I said?

No. Because the enemy recruited 3 damn black knights, which was behind some trees.
The problem is, that the enemy units not defend their buildings, when you attack them. That's stupid. I think Joymania have forgotten it. Defending town must be scripted in mission file or not? The same bullshit in enemy town. 200 serfs and a terrible economic desaster. I hoped some of you have reworked this mission.
Mission 18 TSK is soooo easy to win.

Maybe it's time for me to look at this mission and try to fix it. Some people say I'm good with AI thinking. . I will look at it, I already promised some help with TSK campaign, but I fixed only 3 missions and then came out RC which changed some things. I will try to not be lazy and fix it as soon as possible.

Today I played till M20. I cannot remember central enemy have sooooo many soldiers. O.o The send hundreds of soldiers to me and thats only 1/3 of his complete army. Remake make M20 "bit" harder.
(that's no bug of course)
