Can someone tell me the differences between castles???

[Chazar]

Does the number of units have an effect on the time of siege? What about PD?

I recall a passage in the manual saying that mindless units count less when repairing fortification or something like that, but I dont know what that means...
(I have not noted a "repair"-command after an unsuccesful siege.)

Castle damage is based on siege might of attackers versus defenders; size matters, if memory serves, as does mindlessness, flight, and the 'siege' token (some units have advantages besieging castles, some have advantages defending them). If the attacker has an advantage, the defense total goes down, and vice versa. Gate is breached once defense reaches 0. Magic can also be used to damage or strengthen castles.

PD is never a factor in a castle siege: If a castle is being sieged, all of the PD has already been slaughtered and more cannot be hired until the attackers are driven off, or the castle is taken over.

The formula for siege ability is:

((siegers strength)�/100)+(bonuses(1 for flying, 1 for city guards etc IIRC))
