If we continue talking about the Spaniards we also have "The last of the Philippines", who were the last Spanish soldiers in the Philippines, who when they had already surrendered they thought that the enemies were deceiving them, that's why they resisted 1 year in a church without food and sick, because they did not want to believe that the sun had set in the empire where the sun never set.

Well, historically people don't give up easily, for example the siege of Castelnouvo (Montenegro) where 4,000 Spaniards defended the small town in the end, only 200 being captured, but killing 16,000 Ottomans and 4,000 Janissaries and that's just what you have absolute security for. , that is, the minimum, because many establish the figure at 37,000.

This is called Numantine defense, that is, a desperate defense to the last man, the term comes from the city of Numancia (in Spain), where the Numantines rather than surrender to the troops of the Roman Republic chose to commit suicide collectively , not all of them, but if most of them committed suicide, they also burned the city so that the Romans would not get anything.

I'm currently not making any additional mods for this game. If you're looking for something to try, you can locate the Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\common\buildings

Make a backup copy of the file "00_buildings" and stick in somewhere safe in case you break something.

Open the original in a notepad (notepad++ is really good for this but any will do), search for "fort_level" and change the number after = to a lower one. Do this for each fort (so keep searching until they are all done), then save the file. Boot the game, test away.

Bear in mind this will make it easier for the AI to siege you down as well. If you're looking for something that only affects the player you'd need something more complicated.

would you happen to have a mod that prevents you from having insanely long seiges? realistically if i outnumber them and they have no chance of surviving the siege, i'd think theyd say "i dont get paid enough for this and bail." but instead they have a chance of holding onto dear life and increasing my war exhaustion.
