Prophetizing during siege

Mistake of the manual or of the game mechanics?

Edi,

Thanks for the clarification.

BTW thanks also for the Dom database.

> Mistake of the manual or of the game mechanics?

Initially this would have been a mechanic bu, since we wanted the manual to be correct.
Now it is a manual mistake, since there are others and the manual is incorrect anyways, and we don't want the game to have bugs

If it's documented it's not a bug, it's a feature

It seemed counterintuitive to me (I thought the stormed castle is sorrounded by the enemy) but if you say it's ok, oh it's ok for me

I'd definitely prefer this to work as you originally intended, with retreat impossible from castle storming and breaking siege battles.

It doesn't bug me a huge amount to have it work this way, but it's definitely counter-intuitive, yar.

Yep I agree with Sombre, lost break-siege battle IMHO should have the defenders still alive to refuge inside the castle, and if the castle is stormed the ones retreating should die like if they go to an enemy province (they equally retreat to an area controlled by the enemy, as outside the castle, there is the province of the castle itself which /is/ in control of the enemy)

Being sieged seems kinda cheap to me, you can still have all your unit exit for a fake "break siege attempt", retreat immediately and just go to a friendly province :\ - and even if the castle is stormed they are still safe...

Anyway if the devs say it's ok this way I think I just have to accept it the way it is ^^
