Roman Siege Wall & Territory Decay

[Philip the Swaggerless]

The Roman Siege wall is a really cool thing to have in the game, but if you build it anywhere other than your home territory you lose ownership of it very quickly.  So if you build it for a siege in enemy territory, it will soon become the enemy's and they can just delete it.  Also in neutral territory you will lose it right away, so there is no point to building a gate.

I think it would be cool if siege walls within a certain range of roman military fort just mirrored the ownership of the military fort.

That said the A26 catapults, with their 100 range and increased damage, will be would probably be overpowered in conjunction with the siege wall.

I believe walls can be manned, but that doesn't count as garrisoning and doesn't stop decay?

That is correct, manned walls still decay.

Maybe that should be changed?

I don't think that is a good solution.  For example, there is no way to reclaim the walls once they go Gaia.

If the decay would be prevented then they wouldn't go to Gaia.

I don't see the point of building walls in neutral or enemy territory when they quickly go out of your control.

It is a good solution, but also it should be possible indeed to reclaim the walls once they go Gaïa.
