Anyone else getting really annoyed by this? Capturing a city, for then the AI to start to siege you the next turn. Only for you to suffer absolutely insane attrition to your army before you even get a turn. Yet if you try doing this to the AI they end up getting a turn before suffering any attrition at all.
I don’t think the issue is that there is attrition. I think the issue is that the player cannot choose to sally out and fight before the attrition happens, while the AI does get that chance. It’s because the world turn ends after the last AI has done his moves.
Once you capture a settlement, if you think you're gonna get counter sieged & suffer attrition on the next turn, you can actually move your army outside of the settlement immediately after capturing it so they cannot do this. If they attack the settlement your army will naturally reinforce the settlement or give you the opportunity to retreat if you think you can get enough movement points between you & them.

^^^ This.
Also, making sure of your strategic situation helps, too. Like, don't hastily take settlements which can be counter-sieged just the next turn <-- this really means the player was caught totally off-guard.. .and therefore, being more careful in combat planning could easily avoid the problem.
