Wohhooww never noticed this, did you?

if you're besieging an army in a castle (duh) and you've got a ninja in the province, you can sent it in to open the gates, no need to starve 'em ,no need to do battle, you jsut win! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif.

Never knew this...Did you?...

no really, did you know this?I jsut discovered it by accident.. cant remember reading anything about it in the manual though...

I thought there wasn't any gate at all.

If the garrison force in side the castle is large, they would starve in a few seasons (less than a year), so let them starve.

If the garrison force is small, they will likely to hold up for years. However, they wouldn't be able to defend if I decided to attack.

(it's in my first post)

If you're besieging an army and you've got a ninja in the same province, you can click the ninja and drag him on the castle (as you would normally do to assasinate an enemy general), then you're giving the option to either open the castle gates, much less chance of succes, but if it does work, you'll own the castle without losing much men (just a tiny few actually).

And there's the normal option to assasinate the general of the castle...

I read it in the MI manual, but I didnt think there were any gates so I thought it was a misprint!

I remember that I found it years ago, I was very suprised.. Then I think forgot all about it..

And now I am dying to go home and try that again!!! I hope there is an unique movie for it too!
