Did you control any adjacent provinces?

I've had trouble with the server as well.

Soapy, it doesn't matter if he did, any troops from inside the castel being sieged that rout from a siege breaking attempt will always die, even if you control all adjacent provinces. That's how I think it works anyway.

I can't connect either. I tried 4 or 5 times and was always stuck on the "wait info" screen.

I think the server needs restarting... Thufir will have to do it I think.

In this case, I controlled all the adjacent provinces. I don't think it's a bug, per se, as much as a limitation in the routing rules/code. I really believe that the routing rules and code could use a major rewrite for Dom III.

Well, bug or bad rules, I will attest to the fact that Boron got screwed. He dealt me a major defeat while breaking siege from his capital, wiped out my forces (actually worse than that - he stole a bunch of them!), and then out of no where his mages decide to rout while victory was more than assured! Even if there was a good reason for them to rout, and even in the case where all surrounding provinces are unowned, I'd think it reasonable that forces breaking siege rout back into the castle (or at least mostly back in to the castle).

I'm resetting the clock to 72 hrs for the holidays. I'll be playing more often than that, but just to be cautious I'm setting it to a long time. If anyone needs more, let me know. I'll reset to 36 hrs on Monday, unless someone objects.

Did the server get a restart to clear the login difficulties?
