A feature wanted: Read the in-game sent message.

Regarding the battle reports on sieges. Since attacks on castles are executed in a different manner, a battle report would demand that JK writes new code (not just copies) for the report IIRC. This is doable, and might happen, but probably not with the next patch.

Thinking about this, the thing I don't get is that if you LOSE the battle you get the battle report as normal. It's only if you win that you get a non-message. Even if attacks on castles are different from normal attacks, can fortress wins really be all that different from fortress losses?

It doesn't sound different , but I have no clue. I just know JK hs been a bit annoyed by siege reports. And by complaints about them. In his dry way of putting it: 'People can count, can't they', or something to that extent

If there is a report for loosers the report might have been implemented and it's just a bug that you don't get it in wins.

I'm guessing the intelligence clerks are too busy celebrating over a successful storming that they can't be bothered with filling out reports.

"Sir! We won! We won! We have taken ownership of the false-gods home castle!"
"And what were the casualties?"
"Ummm... ****. I forgot to count. Not too bad I think. Maybe."
