can someone tell me how can i defend myself from castle? i mean when enemy attacks my land and i retreat to castle then usually passes few seasons of siege which is calculated automatically and then i lose... how can i fight a battle to see and command my troops from my own castle?

i also added few units in crusader unit file(i have VI installed but i play early age) and it works fine except one thing... only the corpses of new units dissapear but i have added them in deadpagecords, when i did same in viking_units and added them in deadpage it worked... where's the catch?

thanx!
