PLEASE FIX THE "YOU ARE NOT IN COMMAND OF THE SIEGE"

[ShadowFox]

I was really hoping this was gonna be fixed in the hotfix update but it was not.
For anyone not familiar with it, if you start a siege and then someone else shows up to support you sometimes the game will decide that they are now the one in charge but neither you or them can actually start the siege until you leave and return. Trying to snatch a castle that had about 50 defenders and instead now its going to be one of those 1K vs 1K fights because the AI wants to wait for more equipment when we are 380 VS 54

You need to post your problem in the technical support section. TW will need a saved game, a screenshot, and maybe a video of what you're talking about. If you don't provide them with what they need to look into this, they'll declare the problem resolved after two weeks, and nothing will ever happen.

I didn't even know this was a bug. I thought this was the other lords bullying me. Showing up with their bigger armies being all like "this is my siege now scrub" Then I have to leave and go find a new castle to siege and plan my revenge.

It's been posted a bunch of times, I was just complaining into the empty void of the forum lol It either will or won't be fixed regardless of what I do

Hmm maybe this is a "feature"? If I show up to a siege with more troops than the one that started it can I then take control of it?

Oh no I am sure it is a bug now that I saw this thread. I just didn't think about it like that before. I am not sure about the larger army thing I have not had a chance to test that out. Surly the game would give you a message like "Lord Buttersworth has taken over the siege" or something like that if it was intended though.

I just searched if someone had complained already around him about this. It is pretty annoying, though I share that doubt if it is a bug or intended.

However I`ve seen that the moment I go out of the siege and rejoin they immediately attack and that make me think that is indeed a bug.

Anyway, screw those lord joiners that come to "help" on a won battle and, of course, they take their share in the looting... With bug or without it I`m bailing out the moment that I see those helpful army come.

I think so too.

What's more I have the problem that he never attacks, even if I built all possible siege engines, destroyed all those in front and the walls, that they have no more food and are very not many. I don't see how it can't be a bug.

these army goblins!!!!! takeing our siege

[IsaíasJugador]

I´m having this problem and is so anoying, Conquering things it´s so frustrating now

[Burba]

So I raised a massive army of about 1200 to see if they would still take the siege but the AI that had an army of about 500 decided I did not need help against 787 defenders. The AI just walked right on by me. Still trying to see if I can steal a siege from the AI.

Thank you for being our unofficial tester! I look forward to hearing the results :)

This won't get fixed till same time next year going by their update rate. They are still fixing bugs that people fixed within first month of early access release.

This won't get fixed if someone doesn't open a bug report with a saved game, some screenshots, and a video.

There`s several threads already in the official forums that at least they get the same copy paste response

now how many people actually on top of that went to also open a ticket and submit the save file who knows because seem like tickets are private matter.

Really overcomplicated way of doing things if you ask me. Take Kenshi for example, smaller team and yet they can have someone watching the forums, steam`s included, having the nice detail of not copy pasting a message even though they have to say in conclusion the same thing, informing you if it has been already noted or in work, and taken resources submit from that same thread if they ask for it.

It's been reported many times, and its not a hard to replicate bug literally any save file any siege any faction you get the same result
