Never tried that... can a besieged assassin kill a besieging commander?

Yup. At least it worked Last I checked (pre-patch), and I doubt it changed.

for the reverse, an assassin outside assassinating a leader inside a non besieged castle, I had a strange result too. It doesnt seems to work each time, even if a leader is present.

Jotunheim has a mix of Jotun militia (morale 10) and Jotun Hurlers (12). But they are both giants and thus have 30+ HPs and 18+ strength, thus can take a fair beating.

R'lyeh PD commanders are illithids with mind bLasts. Of course, those 1-2 squids are not usually enough to make up for their crummy cheap slave fodder.

Jotun militia nonetheless has a great reputation for cowardice. Part of this is due to their 30 hitpoints, which means that even though hits they take don't kill them, they'll force morale checks that quickly lead to a rout, even when there have been very few or even no losses. It gives the Jotun militia a reputation for immense cowardice despite their seemingly average morale rating.

R'lyeh PD, on the other hand, consists of slavetroopers, which have relatively average morale, and lobo guards, which are totally unbreakable.

An Ermor PD will probably consist of a single Censor and whatever random crud happened to spawn this turn: It's usually weak, but morale is never a problem.
