Maybe they are not friendly with your alliance as a whole?

Our alliance is at plus 33 and I'm at plus 40, so there must be a bug.

Exciting times!

Maybe they are reinforcing? There are times when your own messengers and incoming troops show up as unknown hostile incoming.

I thought that might be the case, but when they arrived a battle was fought.

Another possibility is that it is because I sieged an Orc town nearby (abandoned alliance member) and it might be revenge for that.

Two opposing forces clash against each other.
Swordsmen, and especially cavalry, find attacking into very mountainous terrain difficult - although ranged units can excel.

Narrow passes and gulleys hinder any mounted units' ability to defend adequately. Nimble spear units have no such worries here, and defending bowmen are able to use their height advantage to maximum effect.

Attackers:     Unit:     Quantity:     Casualties:     Survivors:

I think they already have, Brand. Here's a report I got from Omen troops attacking a city (additional attacks of similar size have come since).

Large hills such as this are difficult for attacking mounted units, but provide opportunities for ranged to unit to show their worth. Arms-bearing footsoldiers take it all in their stride, of course.

Manueverability and lines of sight are the keys to defending very hilly terrain. Lightly armoured units such as spearmen and ranged units find it easy going here.

Had you otherwise interacted with the faction prior to that, perhaps by attacking their camps? Just curious if something triggered the attack.

I haven't attacked any of the faction troops, though other members of my alliance have.

The one thing I have done recently is to siege and capture an Orc town right next to the faction hub (this was a town of a player who had been in our alliance who had gone inactive). Since our alliance has some non-Orc members our alliance standing with the faction is lower than the Orc default, so it's just about plausible that it was some sort of revenge attack for that.

I think it's more likely that there's a bug in the code though... (I've written code, I know what it's like)
