Hello people,
So, my "question" is this : am I the only one to find stronghold events/visitors to sometimes stay/last too shortly?
For example : I travelled from Ondra's Gift to Longwatch Falls in the White March (28h travel), and have had a message telling me a relative of one of my prisoners came, then the message saying he left, thus making me miss the event, because all of it happened in the travel time.
This is downright silly, the countdown should start after the travel is over, and not while it is happening. I have missed other events/visits while doing others 24h+ travels for the same bad design reason.
There's nothing to rush back for in the vast majority of cases. They are simply diary dialogue events. Only on the rare occasion will you actually get somebody physically visit the hold, and they usually stay for a number of days.

It just for the pen & paper feeling.
The only messages you need to react swiftly is when your stronghold is under attack.
Your guards and companions which you haven't taken with you will fight the interlopers for you.
But it will mean that some of your hirelings will be killed when you arrive.
Also some parts of your stronghold will be broken if you won't manually resolve the attack.
