I've encountered situations where a sally didn't work, and it seems like a case of the bigger army "trumping" the smaller one: ie where you sally at the same time as the AI deciding to assault, the assault happens if their army is bigger. It's a similar mechanism to when armies cross a border to attack each other, the larger one succeeds in attacking, the smaller one is forced to defend.

I had a frustrating experience last night. I was defending my castle against and army that had decided to storm the garrison. Ther siege engines were destroyed before they couldbreak down a wall, forcing them to take the gates.
I noticed after a while that even though I had my forces up against the inside walls, so no archer could get a clear shot at them, I still lost troops to crossbow fire. It's like they were shooting through the wall. Anyone know how this works?
It's another case of the AI cheating, Heidrek. I've seen it as well, whereas in my case it was arbalesters shooting round corners![]()

I haven't noticed it myself but I've heard of this before. I think it's because you're to close to the walls. Move your units a bit back from the wall. Xbows can't shoot in an arc (at least not steep enough to clear the wall and still hit the units inside it).

I think they only ended up doing about 5-10% damage but it did make me wonder - if they were damaging my walls, could this have been what was killing my troops? or does it only matter when the wall actually falls down?
Question: what happens if you decide to storm a castle which garrison sallies?
(I don't want to hear any answer containing the word "swap"!!!)
Good question - can't say I know the answer to that one.
another question - while under siege, do you know what determines the likelihood your province will rebell against the besiegers? Does it's previous loyalty level make a difference? How long it's been yours? there are times when i've needed to keep 1000+ troops besieging a province to prevent it rebelling, yet the AI seems to be able to get away with a few hundred sometimes?
