Speaking of the game Return to the Empire, I believe everyone is familiar with it, so do you know how to play the neutral city siege in the game? The editor will share with you how to play the neutral city siege in Return to the Empire.

【Basic Rules】

01Conditions for capture

      Each alliance must first attack level 1 villages, and you need to be careful when choosing. This will determine the alliance’s future territory expansion path. After that, the city to be captured must be bordering the alliance territory.

02Preparation for declaration of war

​​The alliance management consumes the "Declaration of War" to declare war on the target city, and then enters the preparation period for declaring war. The higher the level of the city, the longer the preparation period for declaring war. After the preparation period is over, the siege can begin.

03 Siege Stage

By defeating the defenders within the duration of the siege (60 minutes) and destroying the city defense value in the center of the city to 0, you can occupy the city and enter a period of protection.

【Preparation before war】

01Low-level city

There are not many defenders in Level 1 and Level 2 towns, and the battle is relatively simple. There is no need to assemble too many people in the early stages of the server launch. Just follow the principle of proximity and assemble a dozen or so nearby teams.

02 Intermediate City

Level 3 towns have 320,000 defenders, and level 4 towns have 1.18 million defenders. In the early stages, when everyone’s military strength is generally low, alliance management needs to summon members to move to the target city before declaring war to facilitate mid-way supplies.

03 Advanced City

Starting from level 5, the city has a morale value. The morale value is provided by the city buildings, sentry towers and city patrol defenders, which can give the defenders high attribute bonuses. Therefore, before attacking high-level cities, alliance management must organize members to clear building towers and patrol defenders to weaken the morale of the defenders.

When formally attacking a city, in order to save time, you can also use siege vehicles to assist in destroying the city defenses. During use, it is recommended to add a garrison with a maximum limit of 200,000. This can increase the damage of the siege vehicles to the maximum.

【Gather to attack the city】

01Assembly

After the siege officially starts at the end of the preparation period, you can start to assemble and attack. Since the siege vehicles travel at a slow speed, try to have the lord closest to the target city initiate a team. Other members of the alliance can join the team until the number of people or The total troop strength has reached the upper limit.

​ ​ 02 supplementary assembly

                                                                                                                        When one's own troops are lost or the number of teams in the assembly is reduced as the battle between the siege vehicles is assembled and the number of teams in the assembly is reduced, members waiting nearby can click the "+" sign of the siege vehicle and choose to join the assembly queue. This is also one of the most critical steps in a siege battle. If the troops in the siege vehicle can be kept at a high value through regrouping, then this battle will be a sure thing.

03 city defense value

When the city defenders are defeated, the last step is to destroy the city defenses. At this stage, even teams not in the assembly can go into battle alone. Therefore, when the alliance attacks the city, it is okay even if the combat power is not high, at least it can help destroy the city defenses.
