Since there seem to be a lot of new folks posting here, I thought I would share a bit of information about artillery and sieges and siege score. Figuring this out was a pain in the butt for me and utilizing it saved countless artillery and maintenance costs.
When conducting a siege, artillery increases your siege score (the number in the left hand side of the siege screen). That increase depends on the following scale.
10 guns x fortress level: gives a +1 siege bonus
25 guns x fortress level: gives a +2 siege bonus
40 guns x fortress level: gives a +3 siege bonus
Later in the game the conservation of artillery makes zero difference since most players are wealthy enough to buy more with no problem. However early on in the game when money is scarce, this little formula always came in handy.
