Title: Player owned town sieges are not working correctly.
Reproduction Rate: Varies but >50%
Blocker?
Yes
Details:
According to Lord British, the current way that POTs are functioning is not correct.

This is how it should work:

* A celestial event occurs ( a body passes into a constellation ).
* A POT that has the devotional associated with that constellation/celestial event goes under siege.

This is how it works:

* A celestial event occurs ( a body passes into a constellation ).
* ????
* A siege occurs in a POT with a devotional tied to the constellation (or doesn't).

This is related to Lord British answering a telethon question here

If a POT has a devotional, it is not sieged every time the NPC town relating to that devotional is.

POTs are a *little* different. You can have multiple devotionals placed, where a npc town only has a single devotional.

There was a problem where a POT was likely under siege if you placed all devotional types. The solution was to choose a "dominant devotional" on a periodic basis. If your town has the dominant devotional, it should be under siege. There is no user facing way to tell which is considered the dominant devotional, however, it cycles quickly through the day.

I'll be looking into the siege alignment this release.
