Andrew,

I'm not in a tower inside a castle controlled by enemies. However, it
would be possible for this to happen if the castle was stormed and taken
while I was in the tower. As for using your tower, don't worry, I have my
own. *smiles*

Okay, now onto the response.

Are you sure about this, or are you just guessing from what the rules
say? Since a castle is an inner location, I don't think you can enter it
without an admit permission from the owner, even if you are in a tower
inside. (After all, are your enemies going to just let you walk out, now
that they have you trapped?)

I think you would have to issue the command attack [castle ID#] from
within the tower, which would mean you might possibly get the defense bonus.

Yours truly,
