As expected, ranged units shine in this situation.

Prevent the enemy from taking gates, to hamstring their cavalry and force them onto the battlements.

Defending is a little more complex, especially with a small force.

Any defenders get pelted with arrows and projectiles, stripping their leadership faster than you could hope for.

However, getting ranged units onto the battlements is a very good idea.

Occupying them with some infantry is generally a good idea and once inside the city, you can rout them with ease.

Fighting the defenders on the battlements is optional, but will ensure no counterattacks in the back.

Taking out the gates allows cavalry to move in, which can greatly turn the odds in your favor. Easier said than done, though, as the defenders are very resilient. Marshal forces and attack the victory point for a quick victory.

At any rate, the priority is to neutralize the towers, then get into the city.

Have at least one to gain access for cavalry inside the city. They are durable, but slow, and once they get to the gates, it's going down. Ladders also cause severe Fatigue to the unit, and should be used sparingly lest your army becomes Exhausted. Of course, ladders only permit one unit per ladder, leading to issues with penetrating enemy resistance. The infantry inside suffers 50% casualties, so it might be more advantageous to have regular infantry, especially faster units, set up ladders.

Siege towers preserve the infantry on approach, but are notoriously fragile and frequently get destroyed while halfway in.Make it a priority to either evade their fire (by getting close to the walls with units), protect your units (actual shields or cheaper infantry as meat shields), or destroy them using artillery. They have a reach well into the deployment zone on most maps and plenty of coverage. The biggest damage dealer in a siege is not enemy infantry, but enemy towers.The victory point icon can be viewed at all times on the battle interface during a siege battle. The defender may interrupt the countdown by retaking the victory point. Once this timer reaches zero, the attacker wins. Once a victory point is taken the attacker does not immediately win. Victory points behave much like capture points, and are attacked and defended in the same manner. Victory points behave like capture points but determine control of the entire settlement.ДЄn attacker may capture the victory point in a siege battle to win the battle and take control of the settlement. The defender may also retake a capture point. The capture process may be interrupted by the defender counter-attacking. A capture point is taken once the defenderвЂ™s flag is run down the central flagpole and the attackerвЂ™s flag is run up. The attacker may begin the capturing process by clearing the defenders out of a capture point and positioning a unit within it. Towers, gates and other fortified features may be captured by an attacker during a siege battle if they take control of the nearby capture point. If a capture point is taken by the attacker, any defences built by the defender will be destroyed.

Instead of a single victory point, the defender must control several capture points in addition to the victory point to gain supplies, which can be spent on barricades and towers to stop the attacker.

City maps are larger, having platforms for the defender to fire from above or around corridors. In Total War: Warhammer III, siege battles were reworked to become similar to survival battles.
