1 Siege engines like the Ram are equipped before the battle, the player decides(no info about other types of siege deployables)

2. Hastati in testudo formation

3. General at a safe distance, the blue circle denotes the radius of his influence on the troops, the effects of which depend on the general's traits(and maybe skills?)

4. Slingers in the wood to attack the defenders.

5. Balistas shooting at the enemy

6. Cavalry plays a secondary role because first the wall must be brought down or the gates broken through.

7. After the gate is down, the Hastati and Principes attack to kill the defenders.

8. Clearing of the wall by hand-to-hand combat

9. Towers can be taken by change of possession of the control point(so just like Shogun 2, right?)

10. Wall brought down and cavalry rushes in

11. Close vigilance advised during street combat - Line of sight and houses mean that there might be enemy reinforcements just round the corner.

12. Three capture points, possession of the majority ensures victory.

13. Alternatively we can take the back door of the city (I didn't understand that very good, apparently that way we gain control of the city due to there being no escape for the enemy? Hmmm...)
