	The goal for the attackers is simple. Take the city. They can do this in one of two primary ways. The first, and most frequent way this occurs, is the elimination of the defending armies. The second way is the capture of the primary victory point within the city. By capturing and maintaining control of it for 200 seconds, the attacker can forcibly claim the city even if there are still defenders present. Conversely, the defender must prevent this from happening. Unfortunately for the defender, they either need to rout the attackers entirely or hold out for the entire hour of the battle while protecting the city's victory point.

	Total War: Warhammer 3 introduced a rework of siege battles. They are now larger in scale, with more of the actual city being involved in the actual battle, and the city can be attacked from more sides. ~~Not~~ settlements sometimes have bridges, walkways and elevated platforms overlooking or undercutting sections of the city, allowing for more diverse engagements and routes throughout the city. There are now a number of supply points spread throughout the city which provide the controller with a stream of...well, supplies. So long as defenders hold those locations, they will continue to receive resources of which they can construct additional defensive structures and towers throughout the city. Attackers can capture these points to cut off these supplies and destroy any fortifications constructed at that point. Fort battles (only available to Empire, High Elves and Cathay) can only be attacked frontally since their whole point is that they can't be surrounded.

Another addition in TWWH3 is an escape zone. Ambushed armies will attempt to flee the field, taking them out of play. If the Ambusher is victorious, the opposing army will be totally destroyed.

			A fantastic strategy for dealing with AI is to set up an army in Ambush (preferably one with a high success rate) then have a second, weaker banner army hang out next to them in a regular stance. In many cases, the enemy AI will see the much weaker force and attempt to engage them in battle, only to stumble into your ambush. And of course, the weaker army can support the ambushing one to help ensure a victory. This is also a pretty good tactic to help level up your weaker/newer lords until they're ranked up enough to handle themselves.

	In the first two games unwalled settlement battles were regular land battles with the settlement shown somewhere in the background. Total War: Warhammer 3 finally added distinct maps for unwalled settlements that have defense buildings constructed. Aside from Wood Elf settlements they can be attacked from at least 3 sides, and many times the unwalled settlement takes up the entire center of the map, fully surrounded and with the aggressors having the entire perimeter of the settlement in which to deploy, granting them substantially more flexibility in picking their engagements. Defensive structures and towers are limited to those the defenders construct over the course of the battle.

Defensive structures and towers are limited to those the defenders construct over the course of the battle.

			Once the battle begins, it plays out very similarly to a standard Siege Battle; victory is obtained by either wiping out/routing the entire enemy army or by capturing and holding the main victory points. Just like TW:W III sieges, there are supply points sprinkled throughout the map that provide the defender with a constant source of supplies (shocker) that are used to purchase/upgrade barricades and towers at various points across the map. Each Tower or barricade position is directly tied to either a supply or victory point; if the defender loses control of a point that has towers or barricades, those defensive structures are destroyed. The defender can potentially recapture those points and re-construct those structures, though usually that tends to not happen for the following reason;

			The attacker, just like in regular sieges, gains momentum for every point captured from the enemy. This provides a stacking, army-wide buff to vigour regeneration and melee attack per captured point. If they are able to get a couple footholds or even sneak in a unit or two with Stalk to capture points behind enemy lines, this can help tip the scales for the attackers to a point of no return for the defenders. This is often made easier still since, unlike full-blown siege battles, the attacker needs not wear themselves out breaking down or climbing over walls or funneling in through one or two narrow chokepoints.

			===Endless Survival===
			Only available for custom battle, including multiplayer co-op. The enemy starts with a small army but within minutes will have a full stack army and shortly afterwards lords will appear too. Each time an enemy unit retreats or is wiped out another one will take its place. Enemy units are random from all tiers although as time passes tier 1 and eventually tier 2 units will be removed. Killing them earns Supplies that can be used to bring reinforcements similar to Domination battles, upgrade them or give them various stat replenishments but you can't keep up with the enemy - sooner or later you will be wiped out. The more enemies you kill the higher your score.
