Can't seige a city - broken or missing something?

I started a seige on a city with 4 x Franci Milites and 1 x Swordsman.The city had only 4 citizens so I immediately started the assault.


However, when in the battle my Franci Milites wouldn't attack any units standing on a district/city center. The swordsman would attack fine, but the mounted units (Franci Milites) would always tell me "there is no path" even when stood adjacent, on the same elevation, with full movement left. Even when there is no defending unit in the district, they refused to move into it.


Am I missing something here or is this a bug?


Thanks

Cavalry/Mounted Units cannot enter fortified tiles. You'll have to use siege weapons to break fortifications first, and/or use more foot units to attack fortified units.

I wondered if it was this - maybe the districts build their gates human-sized or something haha. Thanks for letting me know!

Sure, just as a general advice : make sure to hover over your units, and read their description. The tooltips provide a lot of very useful information (sometimes a bit unclear I admit). The same applies to any constructible in fact.


Have fun with the game in any case and feel free to ask here or on Discord : https://discord.com/channels/227126593754103810/613079566784790564
