Mining
When it can happenSiege led by the player
CooldownOnce per character
After observing the terrain around [fortress name], you think conditions might be appropriate for mining - digging a tunnel under a wall, then collapsing it. This can open a breach but is time-consuming and risky. If you encounter rock underground, you may find all your efforts go to waste. If the ground is too soft, the tunnel may collapse and bury your men. Most troops are reluctant to spend time in dark, confined tunnels unless they are paid extra, or forced.
