View Full Version : Catapults in non-roaded Jungle (semi-Spoiler)

I came across something odd in my GOTM9. Catapults (and other artillery) can not move into Jungle or Mountains until roads have been built, right? I was transporting two catapults by galley, and sure enough I wasn't able to Wake them, and move them directly into a Jungle space on the big Jungle Island to the North East. However, I "bumped" the galley into the Jungle space, selected the Unload All option, and saw my two catapults disembarked onto the Jungle space.
I haven't tried doing this with a Mountain space.
Has anybody else seen this happen? It's not incredibly significant, but it could provide a strategic advantage in certain situations.

Yes, that's a bug. ;) You can also unload chariots on mountains.

Do you think it's nescessary to disallow it (or to mention it for all that matters)?

Sorry if this bug has been reported before. I had not seen mention of it.
No, I wouldn't disallow it. It's pretty minor (compared to dogpiles and such.)

I don't know if it hasn't been reported yet. Not on this forum at least. ;) But I have experienced it before myself; just never mentioned it.

Hmm, someone should contact Firaxis then. Maybe they´ll quickly include it in the patch on Friday! :lol:

Or maybe not.
:D
