I'm pretty sure I enabled them to damage structures, but regardless, the gates
had health. Lots of health, but health, not structural_integrity (the point I
usually use for structures. Thinking of changing that.)
I removed the wall and gates from the equation, and it did seem to speed things
up, but it takes me forever to move all the soldier units into position and I'm
starting to wonder if I'm over-doing things because of the scale I'm imagining
in my head. Should I have large numbers of warriors on both sides because
that's what I imagine this battle being like in the history of my setting, or
should I just give this map up as a bad job? For that matter, are my maps just
too big for this engine and should I just leave this pack unfinished and try
for another format? I did decide to take another stab at writing up the novels,
if for no other reason than to lay out the story in a somewhat complete form
for the purposes of my full-scale game, which I can explore areas of without
having to put enemies in the way just so the map will run...
I'm rambling again. I just ... my vision is huge and TB can only get me so far.

Hmm.
You don't have the ai wait until enemy in sightflag set, right?
And you're sure that the units can actually damage the gate? Because
if hey can't damage it, they won't move..

Hi,
I've been making various improvements to my personal map pack over the
last couple days, but I've hit a snag. I think this problem has come up
before and I brought it up then as well.
Quite aside from the looooong wait for the battle log to respond on my
bonus pre_story map, which involves a big battle between the army of the
king and the sorceress's army, my enemies aren't doing anything. They're
just sitting there in defensive stances. I have a wall that blocks sight
between them and my units, and three gates they'll have to break down to
get into the palace grounds, but they don't seem remotely interested in
doing this. Is it because of the wall? Should I just get rid of it and
change the plot of the map to what it kind of is in the story? (The
sorceress and her kids bring in the army and it basically drops out of
the sky straight into the palace grounds.) Would that make them fight?
