Well, the capturing of a town is supposed to be a climax of the original game, so I thought I shouldn't make it too easy.

You have to find and capture the "envoy of His Majesty's War Secretary" and demand the surrender of the town. Then it's a matter of luck: sometimes he'll give up, sometimes he'll call more reinforcements instead. But you can tweak your chance of success in Buildsettings.h :

#define FORT_RAIDSUCCESS 50 // chance in % that fortgarrisons yield to your demands
