I confirm that my last turn was very quick but be sure that I'll play until the end.! Just the time to recruit some militias and I'll kick the big *** of the big giants

Without mammoths? (Who should live free, and not in slavery. Free the animals!). I doubt that. Those things really kicked my oversized hiney. I don't like those. I do like militia. Free exp

.

And I kinda misjudged your fort. Never really paid attention to the defense stat. 700 is quite a lot

I gather you still have around 250 left right? (Yeah, that is the bad thing about using small elite forces, even when the forces are giants, they don't have enough punch to open up the gates all that quick. And while I have boulder throwers, they only count as 1 giant extra in each siege. I was doubting it was worth the cost of getting the, horrible in combat, expensive, slow, boulder throwers.)

And sorry about the whole attacking you. But I was kinda hemmed in up there, and you where my weakest neighbour. (Who still put up quite a fight).

I just check the defense, it left only 632. So just a few years and it should be good ...

Seriously? I doubt there are more than 2 people left inside. And the last few turns my troops should have taken of around 100 def each turn.

Maybe the turn you attacked Caelum recruited a bunch of troops and they're inside? Flyers are quite good a sieging/defending castles.

It's also possible to summon units into a fortress even after a siege has started. Having all your mages spam weak conjurations can be a good way to keep a castle standing if you're desperate. Caelum's research stalled a long time ago, though, so I kind of doubt there are any mages left in there.
