When you visit a town or castle belonging to an enemy of your faction you have the option of besieging it; note that you cannot besiege places owned by factions that your faction is not at war with, even if you reduce your personal reputation with that faction to the point where they are at war with your party. | When you visit a town or castle belonging to an enemy of your faction you have the option of besieging it; note that you cannot besiege places owned by factions that your faction is not at war with, even if you reduce your personal reputation with that faction to the point where they are at war with your 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 walls 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. | 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).
