I quite frankly do not see your problem. Just train a bunch of stacks of the best spearmen, or the Thracians, and then siege the city with multiple stacks, but without AI control. Never use phalanxes - they SUCK against heavy cavalry. Their pikes never seem to kill anything mounted that is heavier than medium cavalry. So just storm the city, AI reinforcement control off, and when your first stack is used up, the second will enter the map. If it does not do the job, then the third one should. Siege weapon spam is not really viable unless you have more than 500,000 mnai in your treasury, as they cost a fortune. However, your empire should be able to support at least three extra stacks. In my current Romani campaign, I have more than 15 armies, all of very high quality, and 115 territories.
How many territories do you own?
