Default Re: Casualness warning

I think he means that when you use a spell to get an army to a province in which a friendly fortress is besieged, there will not be a 'magical' battle occurring before any other. Actually, no batte at all, unless the fortress would be stormed that turn.
But if you would move there normally, you would attack the besieging army.
In a way it makes sense if you use Gate Way: it teleports you to a friendly laboratory, which is inside the fortress (enemy can't destroy it when besieging). I wonder, though, what happens if you use Astral Travel, Teleport or Cloud Trapeze, since it does not need a laboratory.

I'd like it if you could choose:
- teleport and defend, or
- teleport and patrol
or something

Actually I did not quite understand how on earth R'Lyeh suddenly could have so many armies in a fortress I was storming. I thought I could totally isolate a fortress by besieging it, and I found out the hard way that I could not.. A number of times.. Lots of pain.. losses.. agony.. Actually, I only figured it out this week in a SP test game..
