The information was very accurate.  And very much appreciated.
By the way...any strategy tips for those hill fortresses?  They sound pretty brutal.  I guess ULM has a decent advantage in seiges with respect to what's coming at them from the towers.  Especially when it's shortbows.   
 
After doing the reading, while the 40-admin castle might be easy to breach with only 100 defense, it doesn't sound that easy to storm.
