Finding Site Castles and Attacks

[Agema]

I had a frustration recently. I was besieging a castle with a LA Ulm Vampire Count in it (hidden?). On the same turn I stormed the castle, a handful of thralls must have been spawned. Next turn, I find I'm under siege by this occupying force. At the time it wasn't critical, but it delayed me a turn whilst I broke the siege.

I can imagine the scene as the gates were broken and my army poured into the castle. A ferocious swirling battle at the gates, raining arrows from the towers and harsh, coruscating magics tearing gouts out of friend and foe as the defenders are pushed back step by bloody step. Eventually the hearts of the defenders crumble; at first a few men, then the whole mass, and the tattered remnants plead mercy or run for escape tunnels, abandoning their pikes and halberds. As the last defender is cut down, the victorious general strides up to the tower with his bodyguard, and cuts down the enemy flag, spits on it, and throws it down into the mud of the courtyard. His troops bear up the national flag, and proudly haul it aloft, saluting, savouring the prospect of a feast and a long night's celebratory drinking. Then they survey the land around them...

to notice three guys with pitchforks encamped and building a new trebuchet. "Rebuild the gates!" The general cries. "We're under siege!".
