Invasion of Closed Castle

[Cortez 1]

I decided to finish my peace map that I left stalling for a while and I'm having trouble with a final invasion. An army is supposed to assault your wooden fortification but they either stand around indefinitely no matter what I do or they attack in small groups, leaving some of them standing at the invasion point. Apparently, they don't like the closed castle as whenever the siege equipments break the wall, they all start moving. But I don't get why don't they just start assaulting the wooden walls as their weapons can destroy it.

Hi @Cortez, this sounds like a known bug. Specifically from the 1.3.1 patch, but I believe it also happens on other patches as well. Basically what happens is that if an invasion is triggered that is using a Target Point instead of a Siege Point in the settings, then this will trigger a lazy invasion. When using these types of invasions you must ensure that the troops can access the intended invasion marker without any kind of hindrance or blockage.

If buildings are placed in the way blocking their path, or walls/towers are preventing them from accessing the invasion marker where they need to go, the game will be unable to handle this and may crash or cause other kinds of errors. This is mostly an issue on the 1.3.1 version of Stronghold 2, but can happen in other versions as well.

Hope this helps!

Hi. The issue occurred in 1.4.1 with every attempt. I've tried setting a siege point, not setting a particular target point or setting it outside of the fortification. The enemy only start properly moving toward the castle if the catapults manage to breach the wall. If the catapults are taken out prior to that, the army either keep standing around or start moving in small groups to get slaughtered.
