How to conduct a siege

Victory!

The day is yours! Take what ever riches you can find and which ever individuals you desire to have, as is the historical custom. You may either choose to take the area for your own, or destroy it as a sign of your power.

Attack!

Now that the defenses are weaken and the population is tired and hungry, attack with the full might of your forces. Show no restraint!

Villages vs Castles

Breaking Defenses

While villages will provide little resistance to a well arm force, the stone walls of castles and forts can hold out for months, even years. However, they can be smashed with catapults, climbed over with ladders, or undermined with tunnels. If you use ladders or tunnels, you'll be in for a fight when you get in, so try thinning their ranks first.

Villages are usually made of wooden buildings, which can be burn down with torches and fire arrows. Castles are made of stone, and will call for catapults to break down the walls or ladders to just climb over them. Use the right tool for the right job!

Testing The Defenses

While you wait for the time to charge, send out squads to patrol the area. Have them cheek for any weak spots you could exploit.

Picking Them Off

Be sure to eliminate any defenders you come across. Killing them now will mean less resistance during your final attack.

Surround The Enemy

To begin your siege, you must first completely in-circle them, cutting them off from any escape routes.

The Blockade

The Waiting Game

A key part to any siege, the blockade cuts your enemy off from the outside world. People can not escape, nor can food or help enter.

Now that they are cut off from their resources, you must wait till the time is right to charge. As food runs out in the village or fort, the population will slowly starve themselves into submission. This process can take months, so be patient.
