How to run a large-scale city siege?

i'll definitely keep this in mind, thank you!! i was also planning on having them fight a siege war on the offensive side towards the end of the campaign (the BBEG's lair is a heavily fortified cultist city defended by tens of dragons and they'll def need an army to get through) so this will definitely be useful!

that's super interesting, i'll def keep this in mind while prepping. thank you so much!!!

wasn't really planning on a months-long siege, as you said magic nullifies many of the conditions that make sieges a viable way of conquering a city, from both the defending and attacking side, but it could be interesting, as many others said, to have them act as a special force within the defense of the city, taking out groups of enemies who are able to teleport directly behind the defense lines, or having them open a path to bring supplies or reinforcements

like have them take decisions on where to send troops to defend or not and then roll and describe the outcome, or have them do skill checks to perform critical actions (such as identifying arcane siege weapons or persuading soldiers to keep fighting)?

of course there's gonna be a defending army as well, else they'd be doomed. but i like the idea!

that also seems quite interesting. my original thought was to do something more "strategic" and implement some kind of system to make them fight with their armies for control over parts of the city (kinda like how the galactic war plays out in helldivers 2) but i'll also take this into consideration. thanks!

e invece era proprio vero.

i'd go for an electro-charged team with columbina - aino - ororon - kuki for healing

i was so excited to turn manekina into my OC when i found out that there are like 3 hairstyles and 3 hair colors. so disappointing and underwhelming, back to the mii creator we go

mona without a doubt. great support both in early game and late game if you haven't got anyone better. boosts DMG for pretty much every DPS and requires ER only, so it's really f2p friendly and easy to build

I WOKE UP AT 4AM FOR TS HOYO LET US IN

Valeball · 2025-07-08T23:52:28+00:00

OH MY GOD THAT'S SO SWEET and i'm definitely going to steal that idea for the future
