is there a bug with bretonnia second vow (questing vow)?

[Night]

Just curious if anyone has noted a bug in the bretonnia vow system 'win a siege battle in jungle or desert climate' lately?

I just won three siege battles in jungle climate in a row and it is still not marking the vow as completed?

I won a siege battle at Xahutec and Temple of Tlencan (twice as it was recaptured) and still not complete... highly annoying.


Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Did you fight the battle yourself, or did you autoresolve it? It's possible you have to manually fight the battle.

I manually fought all battles

Do they have to be defensive ones? I think that may have been an issue with something before, not sure if it was this or not though.

defensive ones? like the AI has to attack me while I'm sieging?

That seems... not right

I meant that YOU control the city, and the AI sieges it.
A defensive siege battle.

How would that even happen? In a jungle or desert climate? They expect me to have cities in jungle or desert climate? let alone wait around for an AI to attack it? That Cannot be the case, if it is I quite this campaign right now lol.

I would think fairly easily. Take a settlement and sit an army there. Eventually someone will attack it. Just do other things in the mean time, expand in another direction until then, or just make it an "easy" target and anger the surrounding factions through raiding/declaring war.

Failing that, isn't another option to win a battle at sea? If so, just find an island battle from treasure. I always avoid the Jungle/Desert climate one personally.

I 100% know that is not what is meant for this vow. I've played bretonnia before and won desert climate sieges on offense and have completed the vow.

I'm just wondering why the vow isn't completing in jungle regions.


The fact that sailing my army half way around the world, winning two siege battles and neither unlocked the vow has put me in such a mood about this game I'm not even sure if I want to bother finishing this campaign.

Traveling around the jungle is such a chore it takes ages to get anywhere and the thought of doing yet ANOTHER siege battle in a jungle climate just to not get the vow AGAIN is the most annoying thing I've ever come across in this game.


The vow literally says "win a siege battle in jungle or desert climate".

Whatever.

FYI just figured this out. you definitely don't have to defend a siege or anything like that. The game only counts CAPITAL provinces as siege battles apparently. Just sieges a settlement with walls will not get you the vow, it has to be the capital specifically.
