Wall towers should have more people garrisonned

[lucas92]

Hi,

City wall towers could garison more people (10 people instead of 5), so they can shoot more arrows.

They are kind of weak against normal infantry when compared to castles.

What do you think?

i imagine part of the idea is that those five are really more the ones that can fit in the topmost part of the tower and be capable of firing down. it's also probably for balance reasons.

Normal infantry shouldn't be able to attack walls in the future. Next to that, wall towers are way cheaper. I dare you to build a number of wall towers for the same price as a castle, garrison them, and see what's stronger.

And I do

I like wall towers and use them a lot, especially palisades siege wall towers to aid defense to my units. And I do agree with not having the infantry attack walls, though this should really also apply to buildings as well. Further to this, instead of attack, they should capture and with the walls you need to have a limit set for infantry to scale walls and capture towers. 5 infantry unit limit (let's say) is the amount required to scale walls. Like the Roman pyramid with shields. But the 5 units on the ground remain with shield pyramids and any excess infantry scale above those 5.

This I want included in my mod.

I think they sould only have 2/3 men in the towers, And when 0.A.D got visible men on the towers it looks a bit wierd when there are more men then 5 on the towers and walls.
