"Animal Summoning" anyone?
It has occurred to me that it might not be a bug but there might be a discovery out there that some people know about but others don't.
This seems really unlikely to me, but it is possible.
The major argument against it is that Animal Summoning was supposed to be a new school of magic, not a discovery.

Well that and, if it is a discovery, it seems like more people would know about it. Unless everyone already knows but me.
No one ever tells me anything!

LOL... so the DLords actually believe there is some way of doing this on purpose.

This is being done on purpose. The only time that we ever get blockaded without being sieged at the same time is when someone spots NPCs next to a city, and tries his luck.

Whilst there is a way to 'engineer' this to happen, it is merely following a tactic that H and their allies used against me, in an attempt to stop me beating them in tourney No2.
During the tourney I claimed it was a exploit and a glitch on the forums, then H and all their allies (including the DLords) piled onto the forums claiming it was a 'creative tactic' not an exploit or glitch, which the devs agreed with.
Its odd how attitudes change when the boot it on the other foot.
H?pocritical? I think so.

with some NPCs i can see be non hostal but the game makes it types that simply imposiable 4 it to happen. and when u set up blockades wit 5k min of free extra troops then its unfair 4 those who A cant do it B dont want to do it C think its cheating and what makes it cheating? when u use it 2 hurt others not at random. the GM of my allaince has had it done to him 6 times in a row, no other attacks no other waves sent when hes delt with one soon another shows up with the same thing happening only with differnt NPCs. we know they can control what type of mobs but they can control when they show up. we got the reports to prove this. if this is not fixed we not only have to fight player armies but also FREE NPC troops. note its use is indeed limited but doesn't mean its fair to use such a bug.

Many lesser known discoveries indeed Rill, 
Maybe "Sight of the Moon"? Animals love to gather and howl at the new moon...

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Many of you don't seem to get it. 6 blockades, ALL of which were DAYS AWAY incomig,. landing at the EXACT SAME TIME the various NPC landed.
Not 6 various blockades here and there, but blockades that happen one after another but on various towns. This has happened on my main and alt account. Again, not me alone.
As I said, not only am I stating it, but have documentation on it, and have set up a petition.
Personally, I believe not only the people doing it but the alliances (Knowingly allowing it) should be banned, like all the other exploits being used.

I've tried finding those discoveries, no such luck, not even a hint. I'd say none of those are available yet.
Devs should look to see if someone is running a script to manipulate npc migration, if that is even possible.

Why should people be banned for something the game engine allows for? This has been an issue for quite some time, the devs haven't seen fit to fix it so obviously it isn't high on their list. There is no hack or exploit being performed here. If there happens to be NPC's on a square when a blockade lands then they join your forces. Both sides know this and have known about this for some time, both sides can and have used this to their advantage.
The idea that someone could control the server side game engine to manipulate NPC spawning is just absurd, if that were the case then they could manipulate everything and the game would be broken.
