I love how almost 15 years after the game has been released we still find new stuff about it.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
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.

Speaking of castle upgrades... I never got to do this. How effective are those culverin / bombard towers?

Like all things MTW, it seems to depend which side you're on - if you're assaulting then they manage to knock out your artillery quite reliably, if you're defending they never seem to hit the artillery battering down your walls (ie typical AI cheatingHow effective are those culverin / bombard towers?)

Whilst I tend to agree that the AI does cheat somewhat here, it does so much more ( IMHO ) when Storming a "Castle". When I am Storming, my Artillery take a while to knock things down, and Guns are poor at hitting Towers. Whereas the AI knocks Walls down in 2-3 shots ( via a pair of Catapults or a single Bombard )... So so annoying !!!
I always liked those pop up displays with description and artwork surrounding the castles and castle upgrades, they look cool.
+ of course, in fact, ALL of the artwork

I'd say not very since, in general, by the time a city can build one, there's almost zero chance it will get attacked. I have built them "just because".
They are even worse than field versions. They are placed on the top of the towers so their minimal range is longer than in normal battle. The moment a unit comes close enough their terrible accuracy doesn't matter they stop shooting and choose another target. It really looks like the crews are full of pacifists that tries not to harm anyone. IMHO they are just waste of time and money. Of course, it depends on playstyle but when I have to defend against siege it means I did something wrong (usually advanced too quickly).
"Do not fight for glory. Do not fight for love of your lord. Do not fight for hatred, honor or faith. Fight only for victory and you will succeed." - Uji sensei.
I would do this more for pvp play no AI play.You can keep a 1 or 2 units of peasants in the keep.This is if you are defending it and all depends on what faction you are.
It would have been nice to still destroy castle gates with infantry.
