Everyone just looks at each other wondering when the spy is actually going to open it. I make my men drop the tower and the whole group storms the wall gate… which is closed.
My spy had infiltrated the city earlier, and at the start of battle I hear this comment by the general “Our spy has open the gate for us, we don’t need the tower!” Sent the heir and some of my best men after a little rebel city. Downloaded the 600mb patch (time was, I would be surprised at such a big patch, but I own The Witcher so…), and started playing as the English, figured I’d secure the islands, and then set the continent on fire. So I finally decided to give this a go on the wake of a too much Eve hangover.
