Sandbox and Defend

Post by Grim.Reaper »

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I have setup multiple sandbox games with the goal of my forces to "defend". However, when I actually play the games, the computer never attacks me nor do I ever see any signs of their forces on the map.

Could I be doing something wrong? Anybody else see this?

This was a bug during testing, but I thought that we had it nailed. How many objectives do you see on the map? You need to defend them all.

From what I can recall, there was only one objective I could find on the map since I thought that might have been the issue where maybe I was defending the wrong spot.

Then the bug must still be there. Sorry about that, the enemy should always attack the obj in this type of sandbox. We'll take a look. btw - if you can, get a saved game of this happening, something where you have been sitting a while and they don't attack. Maybe you already have it. If you do and you don't mind, please email it to sowsupport at scourgeofwar dot com.

Thanks!

Just to widen the evidence and balance this a little---I have played several brigade and division defense battles in Saandbox and there has only been 1 objective each time but I have been attacked and thoroughly on every occasion---though you do sometimes need to wait and prepare for up to 20-30 mins depending on the sort of route the attackers have to take.
My concern which I made earlier was the lack of variety in the attacking division which we discussed.
