Auto losing a siege

**drogoth232** · December 26, 2009, 09:38 AM

Hi everyone I have a problem

I was playing campaign as Gondor at East Osgiliath. I was sieged by Mordor. Thinking that I could wait a few turns for my General to arrive I waited. The next turn I automatically lost. There was no screen that said "Your enemy besieges you" or something like that only a message in the next turn saying "Occupied" saying that East Osgiliath was occupied. Is it a bug or is it supposed to happen? If this doesnt belong here then please move it to the correct forum/section.

There is a time limit. When you move your mouse over the besieged city it says how long the city can resist the enemy. After a certain amount of turns which depend on the size of the city the city automatically falls to your enemy.

Well if that was the case I must have missed six turns. Last time I checked before the turn ended I had six turns left. I dont have a screenshot but maybe when another settlement is besieged I will be able to have proof.

Are you playing a Hot-seat-game? In a Hot-seat-Game you can't play defensive battles (actually you can but you have to change the cfg.txt) and you won't even get a notice about the outcome.

Nope not a hotseat. Hotseat works fine for me (I play with my brother so I know

)

Hmm, then I don't know, though I remember that someone in the forum had the same problem some time ago, but I don't remember if there was an explanation or solution...

I believe if the settlement rebelled there is another message? Perhaps it ws bribed?

Yes, it was bribed. That's the solution!
But wait... can u bribe a already besieged settlement? (Or better: Can the ai..?)

Btw anyone got a good link for me where i learn how to play hotseat with my brother (without autoresolve)?

Here. Scroll down a few posts where it's explained what you got to do.

He already said that he did not have problems with hotseat's.

**drogoth232** · December 27, 2009, 08:28 AM

To posts 6 and 7: No you cant bribe a settlement once it is besieged, only the attacking army can be talked to by a diplomat. So that is out of the question.

I was talking to boring german.
And Diplomats can talk to besieged settlements if you tell them to go there they were besieged.

**drogoth232** · December 28, 2009, 09:38 AM

Also there was no diplomat near the area. It was occupied by the same army.

What your force are??

**drogoth232** · December 28, 2009, 09:59 AM

Um if my forces were stronger and if it said that I was attacked by my enemy? My forces were stronger and no it didnt say that I was attacked by my enemy.
