Why can’t I siege Reindi Castle

mount-and-blade

I'm Khergit Rebels. They're Rhodoks. My faction relation is -100, and my relationship with the lord inside is -17. We've been at war for nearly a year.

But when I click on the castle, it only gives me two options: hail the guard and talk to the asshole inside… or leave. Why?

One of my fellow Khergit Rebels is also here, and Reindi says [Under Siege] on the map. Is my buddy already building the ladders or something? I wanna start this thing NOW.

Best Answer

You can't besiege a castle already under siege, and until the besiegers engage in battle (they'll ride into the castle on the map) you won't get the dialogue to talk to the commanders or join the battle.

Patience is a virtue my friend. If you absolutely must kill the time, you can set up camp in the Camp menu.

Can’t find the lord I need to talk to in Mount & Blade. Where is he

The normal way to find a lord is to go to another lord of his faction and choose the

   I need to know the location of someone.

conversation option, and then the name of the lord you are looking for.

This will give you a rough idea of where he is.

Note that there can be glitches here sometimes; once, a lord I was after was taken prisoner, and I only found him MUCH later, after I freed him in battle.

While defending the castle, does garrison or the own party spawn first

They will spawn from both lists simultaneously.

When you are in the castle, its is guaranteed that you will spawn, but not guaranteed that your party will completely spawn with you unless the total number of forces you have is less than the maximum allowed for your side during the battle.

If you have more than that amount, then a scattering of your forces will spawn along with a portion of the garrison. Good luck holding the castle, the khergit lancers are surprisingly good at castle seiges due to their 2 handed polearms, watch out for them especially.
