The vampire has rampired, but they are no match for cannon and magic combined.

Not like you can put the undead to a normal siege anyway, they do not use supplies. At most the vampire might get bored of being cooped in if you keep it up long enough, but that is not reliable.

We have cannons, we have magic and they have an old castle, totally unsuited to an assault from both. Hell, they will probably sally out after a few nasty bombardments.

Not if the vampire has a bad enough sunlight weakness they won't, he'd sooner fight us in the wine cellar than come out in the sun.

They don't have to sally out during the day (unless it's only those monsters, that can do so). Doing so at night is far more common, even for living people.

Classic vampire first turn ;A;
It'd be such a good unit if cannons didn't exist...

Oh sure, but we are going to start shooting at them in the day and odds are we will have the walls down by sunset.
[x] Draw the vampire's army out onto the field of battle. This will remove the advantage of his walls, but he will get to choose when he engages you, meaning a night battle is likely.
I do not really see the point in a siege? The enemy army cannot starve and making holes in the wall does not really help us since the undead probably have an advantage in close quarters battles. It would be safer to fight a night battle, especially since we have magic to (probably) mitigate the lack of light penalty.

Corpse carts are still pretty useful if you know how to use them. Depending on the variant, they can do some pretty awesome work empowering the masses, healing or even causing damage to the enemy.
This dude has armored cav, plain undead horde, and last but not least he had one necromancer to lead the forward fight. Decent odds theres a couple more vampires and necromancers under this person.
My only major concern is if they have Monsters. Like Crypt Horrors, Varghouls/gheists, or a dead dragon.
Regardless! We did pretty good shutting up the first tripwire! Time to see what defenses the castle holds and if we can tear it apart in a day.
Fun fun fun!

The point of a siege is to fight them at day like it says in the vote, the holes in the wall let the sunlight through. Now if we do not manage to carve though the thing in a day that's a problem, but this is a small castle and we have canons and a high mage.

The point isn't to starve them, but to avoid fighting them in the dark. Even if we can devise a way for our entire army to not fight blind, the slightest perturbation of that trick you likely make our army collapse.
A battle would also see the undead fight in close quarters too, and our artillery and ranged units wouldn't be able to hit anything.
Concerning the walls, making holes in them will force the undead to pack themselves tight to resist our advance, and so be juicy target for our mages.

At least there's no more magic cannonballs that can hit a target behind a hill in Old World after the latest FAQ.

With cannons and magic, those walls wont last long. And if the vampire send out his forces, it would have to go via the gate and other holes in the gate we make, thereby limit the amount undead that will be fighting us

Speaking of magic cannonballs, I don't think I've ever been more hype for a quest than when the blessed cannonball in drunken dynasty came back from the warp. Fun times.

I would say crush them in full. leave no room for escape...
May change my mind. But I want this to be throughout. and Symbolic in a way.
Hope we get something to increase survability of our troops...
At some point in future.

Wonder if we keep the castle afterwards. Would take some investment but it could grow to another more secure than average settlment.
At some point in future.

I believe it was described as being set on the other end of the large bay our own settlement is on, so it'd be nice to claim the town and castle, anchor our naval situation even more.
