Description (last modified by )
Hi,
In the Greek Acropolis map, there is a mountain that cannot be reached by siege units (catapults, elephants, ...). Symmetrically, siege units creates in the mountain cannot reach the map outside this mountain.
Is this a bug or a feature?
If it is a feature, then this triggers a bug in Petra Bot: it keeps sending siege units and occasionally a few solders (not enough to do any damage before getting killed by towers), which makes this place invulnerable to Petra Bot.
I join a screen capture of the situation so you can see what place I am talking about. You can see on this capture many units that are stuck trying to climb the mountain.

That's a map bug. Probably one just needs to open the map in a map editor and smooth the terrain.
(Also it's Greek Acropolis (4), not Greek Acropolis (2)).

Smoothed the terrain and play-tested to confirm Petra was able to access with siege.

I cannnot reproduce problem itself. I have created siege units at the mountain and they were able to go down and move back to top.
Can someone try to reproduce it ?

A single seige unit can pass OK ... But when you have 4 or 5 rams they cannot pass. I fixed it per elexis' suggestion. I have an updated map file for you.

My holdup has been setting the camera view on the map; seemed like the view changed whenever I edited the map.

If any one siege unit can pass the ramp this is clearly not an issue of the map but the unit AI/pathfinder. That doesn't mean the map should not be changed.
I'll look into the proposed changed maps in the coming weeks.

Maybe something change over the years, but I can reach all mountains with siege.
