Re: Kingdoms Anniversary - Daily Quiz!
Well, I'd rather do it quickly, and get on to do some other stuff. You know, like laying siege to the next castle.

I guess I would just quickly siege. I will not wait for them to instruct their people what to do or to make plans for any countermeasures. Also, there is always a chance that reinforcements will arrive for them. Also I would not want to leave a fortress intact for the enemy to use. If I can't hold it, I'll leave. Hit and Run!

Re: Kingdoms Anniversary - Daily Quiz!
it depends ...sometimes siege the castle right away or surrounded till the castle surrender to you if the castle has resources to stay for a very long time then you should attack the castle straight away without giving enemy time to get ready or get reinforcement
if the castle is far away from main area ( where reinforcement is ) and not much resources to survive then surround the castle till they surrender and lose their resources and block their water sources to make them surrender faster before any reinforcement get there also this should be done if you have enough resources for your own army to feed them

Yoooooooooo

Depends on your wealth, if you don't mind loosing troops and have other wars to fight then you want to attack and get it over with quickly. However if you want to make your opponent suffer then a siege does the trick.

Re: Kingdoms Anniversary - Daily Quiz!
The question is not easy, we must consider first of all the possibilities that may or may not act in aid of defender other armies
If the defender probably can not count on additional troops and its castle is well defended, defended well to this point that one brilliant strategist is not able to find weaknesses in the enemy defense, the best choice is to build a real camp outside the enemy walls, obviously not in the colder seasons , and depriving him of supplies, keep the siege for long periods , threw infected carcasses and incendiary bullets with trebuchets, breaking down the morale of the defenders up to take them to physical and mental exhaustion because of continuous stress and lack of food
Before resorting to siege I would use spies and corruption as maintain a siege leads to an enormous waste of money and deprives the country from a very high number of men, which it favors an increase in crime and discontent

Re: Kingdoms Anniversary - Daily Quiz!
It depends on many factors, but generally speaking its best to rush a castle if at all possible. If the initial attacks fail it might be better to move on and continue an attack elsewhere.
Prolonged sieges tie down the attacking army, and require a disproportionate amount of force relative to the defender. The length of time it takes to successfully besiege a castle can easily use up all of the fighting season (typically spring to early autumn in Europe). Attacking armies can suffer from severe attrition due to disease, desertion, sallies from the defenders etc.
In addition the prolonged period of immobility during a siege allows the enemy to gather a relief army at their leisure, as they know exactly where the attacking army is (besieging one of their castles). A relief army could trap an besieging force between the hammer (the relief army) and the anvil (the castle). Never a good place to be.
