Temples/Labs vs 1st turn seige

[sansanjuan]

Another siege related question...

I stormed a castle yet my reinforcements in an adjacent province did not appear for the storming but did appear in the province *after* the storming. Don't have my manual here but I thought they would help the storming.

Also, if I lost the storming would they have "re-stormed" the same turn?

They did not have a storm command, they were just moving. The reinforcements
would have helped fight off a sally, but they would have had to wait for the
next turn if they wanted to storm. A 'move and storm' command would be
extremely useful, and as such, balance changing.

Next turn at the very earliest.

Speak for yourself. My Goddess's temples are built with the finest marble.

On the bright side, if you lose the castle storm, the reinforcements will hold the province for you rather than it revert to the defender.

The only way I know to get troops into the castle itself to reinforce is on the turn they are storming, if you cloud trapeze in some commanders they will manage to also fight in it. I have done this with the Sidhe lord several times.

Good to know. Thanks.
