I have had this happen to me in several different games now where my mounted units survive an attack on a stack containing siege but no damage is done to the siege. Attached are a save and screen shot right after one of my Horse Archers attacked Hwang Kong's city with 2 Hwachas in it. Horse Archer survived and damaged the defending archer, but both Hwachas are unscathed. And its not just Hwachas that don't work. I have this happen in at least 3 other games with all different combinations. Horse Archers versus catapults, calvary against cannon, gunships versus artillery all with no flanking damage. But it isn't broken with the AI as I've had siege destroyed by AI flanking attacks. Is there a fix for this?

1) You can't do flanking damage to units that are in a city or in a fort which is owned by the owner of the units.
2) It is not automatic. The odds of doing flanking damage to each possible victim are the same as what your odds of winning a round in a combat against that unit would be if you were directly attacking it (which is, roughly, your unit's strength divided by the sum of that plus the enemy units strength).
You screenshot is covered by item 1. You will never do flanking damage in that situation.
