Before actually leading the attack you will want to rearrange your forces (see [[Mount&Blade/Party | Before actually leading the attack you will want to rearrange your forces (see [[Mount&Blade/Party|Party]]); generally speaking you should arrange your men in order of how effective they are as ground troops (mounted troops will spawn without their horses). When you attack the castle you will have to make your way up the ladder or siege tower while braving the enemy's shafts. At the top will be a group of four or more defenders (generally archers); if you just lead your infantry straight up you may take some losses, so if you have archers of your own you should get them to kill or weaken these defenders before you let your infantry go up the ramp. | ||
There will also be one or more archers in each of the side tower areas, but since they are secluded and can't be aided by newly-spawned enemies they shouldn't be too much trouble. The remainder of the defenders will be in the castle compound. It may take your troops some time to work their way up the ramp and down the stairs, especially if they are newly spawned. New enemies will always spawn just in front of the keep's door, so you will probably want to set that as a gathering point (with {{kbd|F1}}). There will usually be a few archers on the far wall (the one you didn't climb up on) so you will want to head up there after the initial group in the courtyard is under control. Unlike normal battles (where the "round" will eventually end depending on the enemy's forces and your battle size setting) enemies will keep spawning in front of the doorway until all of the defenders' combined forces are defeated. | There will also be one or more archers in each of the side tower areas, but since they are secluded and can't be aided by newly-spawned enemies they shouldn't be too much trouble.
