Indies beseiging enemy fortress

[Edi]

Yes, I would classify it as a bug. Siege situations related to any kind of independents are full of screwy behavior that are at best functional in an unconventional manner but are simply out and out bugs most of the time. This seems to be another manifestation of the latter kind.

Yeah, I also wanted to post this. It is possible for a besieged castle to get a random indy attack. This has very strange effects.

I was the besieger of the castle, and after I stormed it, I was besieged by an indy army. (But you couldn't see that this army was there when I was still attacking it).

Happened to me many times.

This is the siege and indy events bug. When you siege, you only have partial control of the province. If an indy attack hits, the event goes to the besieged nation and the indies go to limbo. Once full control of province is restored to one side or another, the indie attack happens and locks the player into the castle.

It's been on the list forever and then some. All of these things worked just fine with Dom2, so I guess there is something about siege and province control mechanics that was changed at some point and that affected the indie events.
