So I just attempted my first siege (against the Skaven) and was completely destroyed. They outnumbered me 4:1, but from previous Warband experience I figured I would be able to win anyway. Boy was I wrong.
As soon as the fight started my troops started dying to Skaven jezzail, all the while trying to push the siege tower to the wall. I jumped on it to avoid the enemy fire and figured things would turn around once the tower was deployed. The ramp finally lowered... only to reveal half a dozen rat ogres waiting for me. What few troops made it over the wall were killed almost immediately. It did have this awesome hero moment though. The Dynamic Dwarven Duo: Gotrek and Bugman wrecked face and actually held the wall for what seemed like half a minute. Killing anything that came close, until first Bugman and then Gotrek fell.
I'll be back! *shakes fist*

Neat. It will be interesting to find out what the other factions have.
EDIT: Knocking out Chief Grom the Paunch (goblin) yields 30k xp. Bug? Just knocked him out twice in a tournament in Da Karak Azgal.
