Prophetizing during siege

[Tifone]

The secret tunnel thing seems quite a consistent stretch of imagination to me, mr. Jim

(every time someone tries to explain something strange or "weird" of the game with huge stretches of imagination, like the poisonous-gas-inhaled thing of the poison arrows , it reminds me that Simpsons' episode in which the actress of Xena says every strange thing in the series, like the horses she's riding changing race, is explainable as it has been done by a mage somebody remembers?)

Hey, wait a second - your castle doesn't have secret tunnels? :O

<3

That's what you get for going with the cheap Hillfort, all of my Citadels have catacombs built beneath them for infallible escape!

[Sombre]

How do you ever get sieged then? Surely people should be able to bring in supplies via your tunnels?

[Tifone]

And you could just have an army of civilian bricklayers (from the friendly province you would escape to) enter the fort by tunnels and just repair the damaged walls over and over and over... ^^

[JimMorrison]

Apparently you people have never used secret escape tunnels. o.O

You can't run a train through them! If they were large enough to accommodate those sorts of activities, they'd be too easy to find. And if you tried to use them outside of a battle, you'd be spotted! You have to get the enemy army at the gates, ready to go - that's when you slip out the back door.

[Tifone]

Ok, you have imagination, you could just start writing fairy tales

Just I can't understand how a tunnel is spotted when you're inside closed walls and want to use it, but you are not when your enemy's army has routed you and is chasing you a couple of steps behind ^^

And well your tunnels aren't large enough for people bringing food but for just for /a bunch of tartarians lead by a two headed Wyrm/? Mmh.

[JimMorrison]

Tartarians are magical.

Proper catacombs are confusing, all you need to do is get out of line of sight, and *poof*!

They don't spot people IN the tunnel, they spot the flow of people in and out, like ants. Grrrr ants! Any sieging army worth its salt would spot that amount of activity.
