Well the main reason the city is getting starved out for 10 years is the timer for a large stonewalled city is only 21 minutes for 3000 troops versus 2000. Quite bug if you ask me. Earlier I assaulted a 2000 on 400 and the timer gave me 45 minutes in wich I used about 20 minutes. It takes a good 10 minutes to scale the wall take over the gatehouse so you can get the battering ram there to bash open the gate to let your other/cavalry troops in. Now how the heck with 10 mins left are you suppose to get to the town square kill all there troops, 2000 of them. Well because of the bug I'm having to wait 10 turns just so they starve to death. I'm going to hate to see the income though as a 5 year siege on a city just scorches a huge radius around that cuty
