@Gandalf: Yes, that is why I consider the actual behaviour buggy: The Nataraja was leading an army, which besieged its own captial city in order to get it back. During the siege the sieger pracitcally owns the province - he can set and collect the taxes and he controls who may leave the fortress (no one except stealth units that is...). So I think it is rather unfair that the game declared the Nataraja as defeated already at that point, since it could still be a substantial force...
