[Bug][0.51] City tactical battlefield too small

from Elemental Forums

I upgraded a city to a Fortress, built a Castle in it, and had 9 units stationed in it (that's in addition to the units provided by the Castle improvement) because some very strong armies were wandering around it.  That's a lot of troops, and apparently too many to fit in the city's tactical battlefield.  Half my army was in the black area, unable to move.  Some of them were archers, and with the enemy not having archers, my victory was ensured, because my archers could still attack, but the enemy couldn't get to them.  The problem would've been worse had it been a Watchtower, because then I'd have catapults in there as well.  

A new city battlefield is needed for when an army is this big.  Either the existing one needs to be expanded, or the program needs to pick its battleground based on the number of units that will be in it.

Anybody think it would be cool if the map could be expanded to have some city street fighting as well?

Maybe force the attackers to breach the walls, and destroy defence towers?

non-destructable terrain, unfortunately.

yea, this is probably happening due to the bug where you have more city defenders than you should... if you just have one of each of them + the 9 stationed units and you are still having the issue please put up a screenshot of the map and we can check to make sure there are enough start locations

 

Thanks!
