One of my cities got attacked by a friendly orc faction (Free Orcs) in Farshards last night. 
My standing with them is +20 and I trade through that hub.  Details here

My bad, you are right I thought you were referring to the other battle report.

My personal standings with the tower is at -95, pretty sure I have green buttocks.

There is no bug that faction hates everyone, also devs said they upped aggression up a notch that might mean that factions will start attacking towns as well as encampments.

I haven't attacked any of the faction troops, though other members of my alliance have.

The one thing I have done recently is to siege and capture an Orc town right next to the faction hub (this was a town of a player who had been in our alliance who had gone inactive). Since our alliance has some non-Orc members our alliance standing with the faction is lower than the Orc default, so it's just about plausible that it was some sort of revenge attack for that.

I think it's more likely that there's a bug in the code though... (I've written code, I know what it's like)

I think they already have, Brand. Here's a report I got from Omen troops attacking a city (additional attacks of similar size have come since).

Victorious defense by my forces at home under attack by The Tower (NPCs)'s forces from Hub: Omen here in Calumnex

Two opposing forces clash against each other.

Large hills such as this are difficult for attacking mounted units, but provide opportunities for ranged to unit to show their worth. Arms-bearing footsoldiers take it all in their stride, of course.

Manueverability and lines of sight are the keys to defending very hilly terrain. Lightly armoured units such as spearmen and ranged units find it easy going here.

Attackers: Unit: Quantity: Casualties: Survivors:

Defenders: Unit: Quantity: Casualties: Survivors:

Swordsmen, and especially cavalry, find attacking into very mountainous terrain difficult - although ranged units can excel.

Narrow passes and gulleys hinder any mounted units' ability to defend adequately. Nimble spear units have no such worries here, and defending bowmen are able to use their height advantage to maximum effect.
