troops magically appear in city i lag siege..

[Shot]

Could anyone help me ? :S the problem is getting annoying..

That's a feature, not a bug - as clearly described in the faq.

There is a way to disable it though, just download the no-garrison-script (I know I have )

Its to help the AI since it cannot comprehend that the player will attack settlements with weak garrisons. It actually makes for a more realistic, and challenging game. But to each their own.

I fail to see how units magically appearing out of thin air is realistic.

First, welcome to the TWC forums!

Think of it as arming the local population and activating the 'National Guard' or Reserves stationed in that settlement.

It is a fact that the AI just cannot compete with a Human player and in addition to monetary cheats, which are present in all the mods and in the vanilla version, is a way to keep the game challenging. If you are not up to the challange play on very easy difficulty level and install the 'no garrison' script.

Yeah, a national guard which is better and bigger than the country's field armies.

Because every country leaves themselves undefended except in one region of little importance.

Perhaps a happy medium would be to your liking.
I didn't enjoy the robust garrison script of this otherwise enjoyable mod. Yet the no garrison script made it a tad too easy.
So I created a sub-mod for HHB: Reduced Garrison Script
