Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I'm not entirely clear why my ranged units don't take part in city defense. This has cost me several cities, as suddenly my garrison of archers turns out to be useless. Is this a bug, or a purposeful design choice?
Upgrade your version to 0.86. Archers are bugged in 0.85 in that they will not participate in auto-fought battles.
Hmm... I am updated to 0.86, but still having the same problem.
Did you start a new game or continue an old game with the new patch?
I am using 0.86 and had mages garrisoned in my city. The one time my city was attacked they did not participate in the battle. Tactical not auto.
Yes, these was a new game under 0.86. Multiple new games, actually. In every city defense, mages and archers do not take part in tactical battles. Very repeatable.
I also saw that my mages did not participate in city defense battles. My archers (mounted) did. I have not tried out a battle with normal archers.
I have v0.86
There's a bug with mages, thanks for the report.
I haven't used mages yet, but I know archers show up.
I did have a problem with a champion called Bannon Heighsley, though. He never showed up in a city battle. Probably drunk in the tavern.
