Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 At the moment, walls are practically a pointless investment. This is due to them first being extremely expensive, many times making a short length of wall cost the same or more than a defence tower, but with palisade walls, that is not case at least, yet still practically minded players would generally not bother investing in walls. The fundamental reason behind not even making palisades let alone stone walls is because of a lack of choke-points. Forests, being passable, are not a defendable option, and neither are there many cliffs around. I would highly recommend working that problem out as walling has interesting strategic implications that should be cost effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's dificult close a city with walls and for me palisades can be place at neautral territory with a decay effect. Mostly of turtle uses palisades. I'm against with cost and time to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've given up on using walls - even where there are choke points, you need to be able to attach walls to cliffs and run walls into the water in order to close off the choke points. Cost is too high, as well. Palisades are too weak and temporary to be worth the wood and time you invest in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurgenjuggernaut Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just as suggestion, change wall cost, allow to be placed in neutral and own territory like port and that stuffs, and instead for athenias pasive to have just stronger walls as carthage.

bouke Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 And most important of all only siege can attack stone walls, units have (almost) none effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonSkallon Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 True. Walls, pallisade or stone, generally aren't worth the costs.Either lower the costs of building walls or improve their effectiveness in defending your settlement.Also siege weapons are lacking. Besides the battering ram, where are the Mangonels/Catapults, Trebuchets,Ballistas & Siege towers? We need more siege weapons. Big Warships should also be equiped with onboardBallistas, Mangonels & Trebuchets so they can attack stone walls and other stone structures effectively.It would make sense if only these siege weapons could damage stone structures. Infantery & Cavalery shouldbe able to damage wooden structures, but not stone structures. Also it would make sense for Infantery &Cavalery to throw firebombs/launch flaming arrows at wooden structures (Instead of hacking at them or shooting arrows at them)This addition would make stone walls & stone defense towers more difficult to bring down and make building walls more worth the costswhile adding more strategy to the game at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
