I joined an army that attacked an enemy siege camp and the city defenses joined us to attack the camp. All our troops spawned inside the city walls, behind the city walls (not on them) and proceeded to slam their faces into the walls of the towers and into the gate. All the siege army's troops slammed their faces into the front gate, but did not attack it in any way. The siege army began alternating between running endlessly into the front gate and running endlessly into the left wall. Eventually I opened the two front gates for the city army. This caused them to recognize a new path and swarm through it as they all charged. Because the city army had numbers, they quickly pushed the siege army back. The siege army's reinforcements showed up, but failed to recognize their own barricades, and began running into them endlessly.
I feel like spawning inside the city (when the army attacked the siege camp from outside the city) is probably a bug. The armies not having a siege battle setup may also have been a bug. The armies not recognizing any defenses on either side was most definitely a bug. Also, I noticed there's no way to order a selection of troops to "man the walls" so to speak. This doesn't seem like a bug, but may need to be addressed. That said, I'm sure being able to set up before the battle like in most battles involving a city would have been enough to fix that problem.
