Defensive Sieges - Can't build defenses

[mollark]

So I'm in a castle being sieged by the northern empire. I was in the castle when they started the siege and stayed there. However, I can't decide what siege engines we build like when I'm sieging a castle, so the ai just builds ballistas which aren't that helpful in battle against a battering ram or siege tower. I'm also the lord of the castle. Shouldn't we be able to decide what we build seeing as i am the highest authority there?

 

[Lackay]

you own the castle besides being leader of the siege and it dosnt work? must be a bug

Balistas is the only thing I've seen being built on the defender side,including my castles and cities,for now it seems like it is automated and only balistas.

I am the owner of a castle and I can't even sit down in the fracking throne chair. I also can't tell them to stop recruiting militia. The peasant soldiers that are forced on me are eating all the food.
