If some enemy leaders are waiting at a location when you besiege it their forces will be added to the defenders' already sizeable garrison, so you may want to wait for them to leave before attacking, or choose a different target altogether. As locations are conquered the number of places enemy leaders can retreat to keeps going down so it will become much harder to attack a location without fighting them as well. | If some enemy leaders are waiting at a location when you besiege it their forces will be added to the defenders' already sizeable garrison, so you may want to wait for them to leave before attacking, or choose a different target altogether.

If you "wait until tomorrow" while one or more enemy leaders are inside one of them may decide to attack you if his party is sufficiently larger than yours. When this happens the battle will take place on a regular field map rather than a siege map, and therefore your mounted troops will get to use their horses. If you don't want to fight him you can entice him to attack and then retreat, leading the party far enough away that you can circle around and get there before they catch you. If your siege equipment is complete you can go straight into an attack and they won't be able to interrupt you. If it isn't you can repeat the process. | If you "wait until tomorrow" while one or more enemy leaders are inside one of them may decide to attack you if his party is sufficiently larger than yours.
