Strange Castle Assault

[Martok]

Welcome to the Org, cdeford!

Unfortunately, I can't answer most of your question, as I rarely bother with ballista towers. I don't *think* your problem has anything to do with the XL Mod, as I'm pretty sure the castle defenses weren't monkeyed with. I'll ask VikingHorde in his thread for the XL Mod, though, and double-check to make sure that's the case.

On a related note, what determines how long a castle can hold out during a seige, food-wise? If you stick a decent-sized garrison in a castle, it never seems able to hold out more than a year or two.

The smaller the garrison, the longer it can hold out during a siege. This is to reflect that a small garrison doesn't use up all the food stores and other supplies as quickly.
