Yep - and it also reminds us that what we've seen a few times might not actually happen EVERY time

I don't often let a castle fall by starvation - I usually storm it, or take it by subterfuge (spies or emissaries) to avoid any damage to the region's infrastructure. Often as not a bribe works out cheaper than rebuilding, and of course it's quicker...

In my current campaign it seems about 50/50 whether a stormed castle takes damage, but I can't claim a statistically robust sample size yet.
