It's also a real pain in the butt now that they removed the ability to capture towers. This was always an integral part of my strategy in taking cities in RTW/BI. Another really really annoying point is the fact that they removed sapping points, sapping was a major part of siege warfare throughout the classical and middle ages. I suspect that both of these, the towers and sapping, were removed for so called "balance" issues, mainly for MP. My response is that CA should provide the ability down the road to mod these functions back into the game, if they're going to enforce stuff like that. Sieges should be hard and biased toward the defender, but I think that was taken way too far from RTW to M2TW.
My $0.02.
