Well, a Rainbow pretender tends to be built on a fairly non-combative chassis to begin with, and really has no business being in a fight at all. At the same time, a multi-path pretender is going to gain much more from rings of sorcery, wizardry, Robe of the Magi, etc, than a combat or bless pretender will.

But yes, troops just arriving in a province won't be able to join in storming the castle, although if you are the one under siege, troops arriving in a province will join any troops attempting to break the siege in battle.

And if you want your army to defend the province outside of the castle they are going to you have to move those new troops with Move & Patrol.
