Give me siege tips

[HotNifeThruButr]

I've always tried to use two ways to storm an enemy castle.

If I have slow troops and/or troops with bad attack, such as Men-at-arms or Pikemen (I refuse to call them Pikeneers), I would put all my forces as far from the castle as possible and put them on hold and attack so that the enemy will come out of the castle to get me. Once they all flee or die, I can go through the choke point without much difficulty. Keep in mind that you'll suffer more volleys from the tower this way, since fighting begins later.

If I have fast troops, like Knights of the Chalice or Royal Guard, I put them all up front and try to get past the chokepoint before the enemy can get to it.

Aside from that, I always put my archers as close to the melee as possible to fire more accurately and I also put my commanders as far back as possible, unless I need them to cast, since you really don't want a stray arrow/bolt/poison bullet/ballista bolt to instantly cause your guys to route.
