    I starve the enemy every time, i attack only when the city is poorly defended or if i have to conquer that city FAST for some reason. I don't think it's cheating, i don't see any reason to call it so, because sieges are sieges.

    Attacking full-defended fortified city was a slaughter, in antiquity. An intelligent general won't risks its veterans in such a risky way, unless there was some GOOD reason. So do I.

    Exactly .

    Never storm unless sure to crush them , or other reason of great ( financial/roleplay ) importance .
