I know I'm late, but we just played the Siege for the first time today. We lost, but I realized something at the end: If you fail to defeat the army, all boons in the location are removed.
Looking over all the locations, that can be up to two-thirds of the cards. It won't make it easy (you have to tank 1d4 on each characters, and you still have to fight the army again), but it's the best plan I can think of.

As great as an ecosystem may sound, I think it's worth remembering what happened to Ultima Online. They took the time to make such a system... and they had to take it out before anyone could notice it.

Why? Because the players killed EVERYTHING in less then a week.

So unless there's a way for the critter population to resupply itself, you may end up with a very barren world...
