[mivayan]

An independent attack even at the same time as an army starts to siege my castle is delayed untill the end of the siege. It seems to me that they should attack the sieging army the turn they appear.

I am ermor and have conquered machaca's capitol Last turn.
turn 40: An unexpected even has happened in machaka. An entire village has been devoured by vine men and now the vine men are spreading out over the rest of the province.
Our undefenced province of Machaka has been conquered by the enemy. (machaka attacking and starting to siege)
No message about a battle in machaka.

turn 41: The sieging force has been beaten by our forces. (me attacking and killing machaka in machaka)
Our undefenced province of Machaka has been conquered by the enemy.
The sieging force has been beaten by our forces. (me attacking and killing indie vine men in machaka)

The vinemen seems to have hidden untill the sieging army was defeated
