I know that this is explained, but I am having problems understanding sieges. When I move into a territory with a fort/port city(occupied), it shows whether the structure is intact or damaged. Sorry about all the questions, there are quite a few, any help would be appreciated. My questions are:
1) How does the computer determine how much damage is done to the structure each turn?
2) Do you automatically siege just by moving into the territory?
3) How do you attack a walled city(meaning the defenders get a bonus on defense, say you were time constricted and needed to attack this turn regardless of the odds), instead of waiting until the walls are breached? The reason I ask, is that I tried to attack a city with full walls and every time I put my units into the city(signifying an attack), it wouldn't let me.
4) When sieging, is it better to have your units go into an entrenched formation while waiting out the enemy? or does it just depend on the situation?
5)Do entrenched units gain defensive bonus in multiple battles? Example, I am besieging a city and militia attack me from the south and then the defenders try to attack me from the city, do I get defensive bonuses for both attacks or just 1 time?
Thank you for the help,
