My ally can assault a fortress with my troops

[Blust]

Please tell me this isn't WAD. I'm playing as Provence in a war against Aragon and I called France into that war. France was besieging Navarra, and I send my army to make sure they don't cancel the siege (it was 14% with a breach and sometimes AI just walk away then right back in to start the siege from scratch), when France suddenly decided it was time to storm the inside of the fortress by force. And France used my own army to do so...

I knew vassals could do this with their overlord's army, but now even an ally can use my troops... So, is it a bug or an overlooked feature ?

Did you come with infantry and did France have little infantry left ?

I ask because that's how that happened to me once.

Hasnt the leder of the siege always been able to do this?

France had 11k men with the good old Jean Bureau still alive on this lvl 1 fortress, while I had 12 or 14k men to help

It's fun to assault with your 1k stack with an attached ally

You can also order a breach using your mil and their cannons (presumably they can do that too using your cannons if they are the siege leader).

WAD. The siege leader can use allied troops to assault forts. Well, it would be more accurate to say that when a fort is assaulted, all inf in the province storm the castle.

It´s ok as it is.

 

[Blade!]

Working as designed, and it make sense to me. You are sieging the place for a reason after all.

 

[Regaccio]

The leader of a siege could always do this. Attach allies to your cavalry, run them over to breached forts then assault them to your heart's content using their manpower.

Even more reasons to not help allies with sieges lol. It may be WAD but now that I know this I'm just gonna avoid helping AIs siege.

You can still help them; just use a single infantry, or just your cannons if it applies.

Often times if I have enough loyal vassals I set them to attach to a single stack and use that for sieges (or attacking as needed).
