Can someone with a large flying carpet start ferrying in Loads of Supplies under cover of night?Can someone just teleport out and get supplies every night?Rats breed like crazy and a very nutritious. Start husbanding them instead of letting them run about and contaminating food. Rat Hutches/Pigeon Hutches/ and suchlike will serve you well.If you can't manage to husband the rats properly (and it's not easy, given how easily they can chew through things) Impress your refugee children into service as Rat Catchers.Other than that, I can't really say. the presence of high Level spellcasters on either side makes most of the questions surrounding a siege moot.</blockquote>
