Agreed, fighting them completely resets your siege?! And with me helping my town when an enemy siege is in front, why is at the very least a battle where I'm hitting from behind and my castle sallys out to help?! At the moment I am just sitting here dancing with an army of 500 that refuses to siege with me in the town, but also never breaks up because comps have near unlimited influence. Its frustrating and is killing the game for me. Its damn near unplayable. The farther I go the more it becomes a game where I say good concept bad execution. If it was just bugged, I could deal with that. There are mechanics that they made on purpose though, and these mechanics make it impossible to make a solo kingdom. I get that it isn't supposed to be easy. It shouldn't be straight up impossible though.
