Sallied defenders are too easy to defeat

[tuore]

This issue has been bugging me since the 0.9 version, and I'm not happy to see it still being in Warband. Conquering cities is really hard, but if you get the defenders to sally out, it's very easy to kill them. I'm here a level 14 guy with Great Axe. I'm playing with player dmg easy (not easiest, though) , Allied damage easy. But still compared to the pain of conquering the city, this is ridiculous:

Don't play on easy mode then.

Whenever the enemy sallies forth in my game they only bring 40 guys and once i kill those 40 guys it goes back to the seige.

Yea, I wouldn't play on easy if you have a problem with that. I'd say its pretty well balanced with the harder difficulty ratings.

But then again, when I'm assaulting the walls, it's difficult enough on easy.

Then you need to raise the unit limit.

It's not the sally that kills you, it's the sally KO'ing most of your troops so you find yourself assaulting the wall with only a bruised chipmunk for company that kills you.

Mount&Blade/Warband is a long term game.

Capturing a city is a mid stage stage event.

Before that, you must establish yourself as a proficient war band captain.

This includes building up the relationship required to amass the number of troops needed to assault a city.

The request done here stems from wanting to achieve before being ready.

How many days into the game are you? I usually take at least several hundred before I even attempt a siege by myself.

All I needed to do was join as a vassal and the king and many of the other lords supported me in getting Curaw, after I had participated (50 men) in the siege of it. So I got it the second month of the game.

That's with the kings army. By yourself, you aren't supposed to be able to do it for some time.
