I have to say that if you are patient enough you won't loose many men at all. I don't think I've lost more than 10 men to a tower during a seige battle for months. And I always assult. Just be patient and look for weak spots in stone wall battles. And same with wooden walls. On a different note I'd like to ask if anyone else did this. Does anyone else use seige towers as field artillery when the enemy sallies? I find it quite effective and usefull for killing off skirmisher calvary. Sorry for hijakcking the thread for a moment.
