Unsuccessful flag raids

[LadyAnneElk]

I sent several armies from my parish and village to flag raid an empty target. Not one of my armies returned with flags even though pikemen entered the keep on every occasion. I have flag raided many times before and did exactly the same as normal. Anyone know why this could be?

Never heard of lockdown and have raided loads of empty parishes with no steward and quite often, no villages either. I have send a ticket to support but they just came back with:

'May be there are no flags in the parish'

Seriously?? Do you really think I'd raid a parish with no flags showing??
