Learn about the starvation tactic in Total War: Rome II. Avoid losing troops but beware of enemy reinforcements and last-turn attacks.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Initiate a siege against an enemy city.
  2. 2
    Choose to wait the enemy out instead of attacking directly.
  3. 3
    Continue to wait turn after turn, allowing starvation to weaken the enemy garrison.
Tips
  • This tactic ensures you won't lose any troops to attrition.
  • If the city is isolated, starvation is a viable strategy.
  • Be aware that the enemy may use the time to bring reinforcements.
  • Sometimes, the enemy will attack you on the very last turn of the siege, even after starving them out.
