• Missiles can now pass through between siege ladders' steps.

• Fixed that corpses and thrown boulders were not being erased after the entity below them was destroyed.

Combat AI

• A critical bug that caused AI in sieges to act unexpectedly and possibly cause crashes, if the player was aiding a side (being a separate ally team during the siege mission), was fixed.

• A critical bug that caused AI pathfinding to almost always reset its path when moving from static to dynamic navmeshes and vice versa, which caused performance issues and agents not being able to climb siege towers correctly, was fixed

• Incorrect ordering of mission behaviours caused a team's general to be deselected at the “choosing formation to lead” stage of army sieges. This was fixed.

• AI that should've attacked the inner gate after breaking the outer gate with the ram in a siege tried to run into the castle over ladders because they chose the reverse side of the gate to stand and wait for reinforcing those that attacked the gate due to a bug. This was fixed.

• Fixed a bug that occurred especially when armies were far away from each other and caused agents to run towards the enemy when given the order to retreat.

• Removed unnecessary pathfinding calls by the AI that caused performance issues especially in sieges without impact on the decisions they were trying to make.
