Hi, new to the forums.
The problem i have (and it's intermittent) is when i send a siege tower to the walls, very occasionally the infantry start to load into the tower, then just sort of mill about at the bottom of it. I'm unable to move them anywhere rendering the tower and the unit completely useless for the duration of the battle. I'm on 1.5 vanilla. Anyone else had this problem?

This is a common problem with siege towers, as you say it doesn't happen all the time but there is a way around it. When they start milling around at the bottom, press cancel orders, and you should find that a few of the men will come to a stop just inside the tower. Click on the battlements again to tell them to enter the tower, and those inside will go up while everyone else mills around outside. Cancel orders again and you should get a few more inside. Repeat and repeat until they're all inside.

I'll give the cancel orders thingy a try next time. I had a feeling that clicking more than once on the walls when moving towards them was increasing the chances of it happening.
Thank you for the replies, Much appreciated.
