At first, i too thought it was a silly question but when you think about it logically it doesen't make a whole lot of sense.

A modest city can resist a siege for 6 Turns, which is 3 years, while after just 6 months the garrison starts dieing. So by that logic troops starve to death while the city still has 2.5 years worth of food in storage ....


Even more unrealistic is the attacking force, that in reality would have 1-2 months of food supply (6 months maximum with foraging) does not loose any troops over 3 years of being separated from civilization.

I just thought there would be a more logical explanation, hence my *Dumb question*
