Under-Siege
If your under-siege & outnumber, it?s
a common knowledge, that you have limited turn or time, before you starve to
death, & eventually loose your Settlement.
Before you deploy your troops, take a
look at your enemy, do they have a Onagers (Catapult) or any kind of
siege-equipment, if not then you have an advantage, most especially if you
have an Epic Stone Wall, or even Large Stone wall. |
|
The best defense if under-siege, is
positioned your archers on the wall, you can only do this if you already
have a Large Stone wall or Epic Stone wall, enable special ability
flame-arrow, to inflict more damage, only enable Fire-At-Will if your
enemy are at the range of your archers, to preserve ammo. If the Besieging
enemy has a Siege-Equipment, then attack it first, so they can?t use it
against you.

Catapult is less effective against wall, but it can
totally destroy any buildings, & burn it down. I guess it?s safe to say,
that only The Roman Faction has access to Siege-Equipment, since I haven?t
encounter other faction using it, even on very hard difficulty settings.
But catapult is not exclusive to Roman Faction, I?ve seen the Egyptian
used it, when they Besiege one of my settlements.

If you think the besieging enemy, only outnumber you by a little margin.
Then group your unit?s, move your first wave of attack, on the other-side
of the gateway, & your second wave of attack, preferably Cavalry, on the
other-side of the gateway. Attack both the left & right flank. But don?t
let your units run, they will easily get tired before the assault start,
when units are tired there?s a definite chance that they will withdraw
from the battle, & they will easily be beaten. Only enable run when your
unit?s are in placed for an attack. |

If the wall is Breached
block the path, click guard mode, your units will guard that area, rain-down
flaming arrows at your enemy. It?s Best to recruit
Scorpion
or
Repeating
Ballista?s-can
impale several men, can use flaming-missile, Ineffective against wall- it?s
suitable for frontal-attack & at the gateway, if the besieging
enemy managed to destroy the Iron Gate, Boiling Oil at the gateway will kill
some of the enemy but not all. Scorpion or Repeating Ballista?s,
will kill many men, but they will still need support, make sure there?s a
Legionnaire or Spearmen besides them.
If the Besieging enemy successfully enter the gateway, set-up an ambush,
group your units, positioned them at the both sides of the road, then attack
your enemy while their moving. If all Fails & you have a general with your units,
get him out of the city, if there still time he can escape on the other
gateway,
?Live &
Fight Another Day?.
But if there?s no time left, he did not escape, then the fate of your
general will be,
?He died a Heroic Death?
there's no ransom on Rome Total War. |
