My Defenders are leaving my city to attacked AI.

[Falkirk]

I did a search and saw the opposite happening to people (where the player would have a stack of units outside a city and the AI would pour out attacking it and leaving his city defenseless).
Well, my defenders inside my cities are doing this.
I didn't notice it until I installed the Earth Realism Mod (1.5.3).

I've lost city after city after city because my guys just charge out as soon as any attacker gets nearby.

Is there a way to fix this (uninstall the mod, or maybe edit the XML somewhere - if so... where?).

Thanks for any help.

Hmm... Are you sure the AI unit is not just attacking you and the animation shows your defenders charging onto the battlefield for the attack animation?

If so, you are still getting the defence bonuses from the city, even if the animation shows your warriors outside it. - The only way to not lose a city in a situation like this is, of course, to have defenders there who are stronger than the attackers.

It would have to be some fancy coding to make your units auto-attack the enemies and I doubt any mod will do that.

This sounds to me like you're mistaking the combat animation for the unit actually moving, which won't happen without you directly telling them to.
