Producing units during a siege

Although I'll grant you I was once fooled by the same thing.

However, now that you know that you can't recruit during sieges, what benefit will a patch fixing this give you? (yes, ok, it will reduce the learning curve very slightly for new players).

I agree. Most players here aren't fools. I like to think I'm not. I don't think you are either. Yet we both made this mistake, as did En Forcer (nobody's fool). So while the designers may well be assuming that we aren't fools, I don't think this qualifies as something only a fool would try to do. I'll grant you that the rules do mention that you can't recruit in a beseiged province. But if you see that in the game itself it appears to be giving you the option to do so, who wouldn't try it?

I can see no reason, in game terms, why this works the way it currently does. All it does is make a complicated game more complicated, and yes, trip up new players. If it were changed there would be one less thing for new palyers to be confused and frustrated by, which I think is in everyone's best interest. It's not a huge thing, not something I feel cries out to be fixed as soon as possible, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to see it altered.
