Which is much safer?

Which is much safer? Doing pillage attack? Or siege attack?
What i mean is preventing army loss and high-risk of defeat...

And if you do pillage? Do you still get the same amount of gold just as doing siege?

Everything would be very much appreciated... ENx

of course pillaging will be safer than sieging a castle coz in pillaging, you'll only have to fight the field army and not risk losing to the castle later. but pillaging will bring back a maximum of 20% of the targets population. but if your army is not large enough, you'll get less then the 20% (if i'm not mistaken). however, if the enemy has a large pile of resources kept in the castle, you won't be getting it. all this are stated in the game manual. you can check it out there.
