Greetings, commanders! Today, we set our sights on the fortified walls that shield your enemies – sieges! These critical undertakings test your military might and strategic cunning as you strive to breach enemy defenses and claim victory. [h3]The Art of the Siege[/h3] Your army surrounds the enemy province, initiating a siege. Each day, the combined Siege Ability of all your participating units contributes to the siege progress. The siege progress is pitted against the province's Defense level. The higher the province's defense, the longer it takes to wear down its fortifications.

This is where things get truly strategic. Neighboring provinces without defensive structures, like forts, fall under your control as well. This reflects the chaos and vulnerability that often follow a successful siege, creating a domino effect that can rapidly expand your domain. The province will also be plundered.

Investing in forts for your own provinces not only bolsters their individual defense but also creates a defensive network that discourages enemy incursions and protects neighboring settlements.

Experiment with different combinations to find the optimal force for the situation. [h3]A Strategic Weapon[/h3] Sieges are more than just brute force assaults. They are strategic tools that can tip the scales of war in your favor. By understanding the mechanics and leveraging them effectively, you can carve a path to glorious conquest.
