[BUG] Too many defenders spawnin + unable to move during siege (forced to autoresolve)

from Elemental Forums

I attacked Resoln's biggest city. The defenses were pretty impressive:

However after fighting (and obviously losing) with one army, the second army was able to fight normally and the excess units were gone. Here's the save right before this battle:

Other sieges in the game didn't have this problem.

It happened in my game too, 350 turns in, having a really enjoyable game up to that point, did spot some bugs but nothing game-breaking until this one. Magnar was getting a little big for his breeches, he built all 3 towers and was now building the Overlord Forge so I had to rush my army to take out his capital, where the towers were and sure enough I ran into defender spawn spam. This is a ridiculous bug, I don't understand the cause of it. They have a grand total of about 60 units inside the battle, I can't even attempt to fight the battle normally because it just hangs forever on the enemy because I'm assuming they can't move due to most of them spawning off grid, and I can't auto-resolve it either because my best army gets crushed. The precise breakdown of Enemy Units is as follows: 2 Guardian Statues, 19 Guardian Idols, 27 Assassin Demons, 3 City Milita, 2 City Archers, 2 Thrall Archers, 2 Slave Cavalry, Nochd Nightbringer, Rostyra, and Shimsher. I will happily provide screenshots and a save game upon request.

Isn't there a limit of 1 Guardian Statue per faction?  Sounds like a bug.

Yep and that's the thing, they only built one, yet 19 Guardian Idols spawn, and 2 Guardian Statues (You can even see them along with the 27 Assassin Demons under City Details)

Edit: Boy am I glad I posted these screenshots, cuz I realized something I accidently did the last few turns- turned off my tax rate when I was trying check out my research :D   Now I'm making a little money again!

 

Also I'd actually like to continue this game so if anyone has any advice on how to deal with that mess, I would be very appreciative.

Foxd1e, just attack the city once with just one unit, let it die, then attack again and it should be sorted out.

good.  i'm glad i'm not the only one with this issue.  couldn't for the life of me figure out how the heck they had so many defenders that they couldn't even fit on the tactical map.  there was a line of units off in the black edges.  9 guardian idols on the map, 5 assassin demons, 3 guardian idols, and 14 militia.  although mine's not so bad compared to the pics above :grin: .  i had it easy, comparatively.
