gate bug

The author experienced a frustrating siege battle in Total War: Warhammer 3 due to a gate bug that immobilized their unit. Historically, the series has faced technical issues with sieges, including the "gate bug" and unreliable pathfinding. The author speculates about siege mechanics in the upcoming Total War: Warhammer 40k, noting the presence of monumental structures and specialized Space Marine legions. They mention the absence of conventional siege towers and ladders in a recent livestream, suggesting potential changes to siege map designs. The author expresses a preference for battles in streets rather than relying on walls, which could lead to more dynamic gameplay. They anticipate that any siege-related bugs from previous games may not carry over to the new game due to the introduction of the War Core engine, fostering optimism for improved siege mechanics.
