Siege Stores

Take advantage of the calm, before the storm comes down.

Sieges in the Dark and early Middle Ages were varied affairs - they either ended in a short, bloody battle, or settled into protracted situations of more devious strategies and classic blockade warfare. For the defenders, they were often secure in the knowledge that an enemy assault on the walls would be easy for them to repel. On the other hand, attackers knew that starving out the defenders may take time but would likely result in ultimate victory. However, it was only after increased contact with the enemy that they truly learned. Roman siege techniques, and the technology that went with them, took hold elsewhere as the art of urban warfare developed. Many powers kept secret supply networks and vast stores of food in preparation for drawn-out assaults. Much of this went unnoticed, allowing their armies to outlast the enemy on each occasion.
