So I am currently the owner of one town and one castle.
I have a full garrison in both.
I am also cheating, and through that, I made a discovery that maybe someone can explain.
I noticed my castle would periodically be attack but I would not get notified until it seemed the garrison had depleted and only the local militia would be left. I would warp back there and thwart off the attackers. After the 4th time, I noticed that every time I checked the castle manpower before I arrive, it would be 435 wounded which is the exact number of garrison troops. Note that none died, just wounded.
So I decided to jump back there every so often and check to catch anyone on their way there. Not a few seconds after jumping away from there, I get a notice my castle is already under attack, yet I saw no one near it a moment ago. And guess what, again my wounded is 435 with only the militia left. Also to note, the attacking force was just over 200 troops with NO DEAD OR WOUNDED. So it seems once I get far enough away, the castle will randomly go into the advanced stages of a besiegement.
I also notice that if its not a castle of my own, I get an icon on the screen the moment it comes under attack and THOSE I have more than enough time to get to because those besiegement's seem to be running the normal routine.
This seems to be a really annoying mechanic designed to force you to lose a castle no matter what, since without cheats you would not be able to get there in time as your castle starts out on its last leg.
Just to note; I dont use mods, just used the command console for gold and teleporting around. anyone else come across this?
