"The time between the moment a town is besieged and the moment the town is captured depends on many factors: - The number of towns the besieged player owns: the more towns he owns, the faster the town is captured. A player owning only one town cannot lose it. - The town level: the more buildings in a town, the longer it will take to capture it. - The defending troops: the higher the general strength of the defending troops, the longer it will take to capture the town."
