Not possible to defend settlements in Attila? Always results in siege timer?

  1. you play as WRE and haven't played a single siege battle? that's 90% of the campaign from start to finish lol. unless the enemy deems the defending force too strong so they decide to starve it out when comfortable. at that point you're supposed to go on the offensive

I suppose I have defended settlements with no walls early game, but nobody will attack walled minor settlements. They just siege and starve.

  1. what you're describing does sound like a bug. when under siege, you can only attack the besieging army and no one else. that's how it always has been

Yes correct, but this army is not garrisoned in the city. It's is free to move, outside the city. I'm assuming it's a bug.

One of my favorite aspects of these games is defending a settlement, outnumbered, and it just seems like I can't even force that scenario.
