Stupid Walls

[MrDude]

Hi, I'm not exactly new here but i just now decided to register and post comments on TWcenter. Let me just say first off thank you for making BI much better than it was. And thank you for the hard work you have done to make it in the first place.

My only real problem with this mod, and almost all the mods out there, is that you still haven't fixed the "Epic Wall" problem. I don't know if it is just me but there are several things wrong with the "Epic Wall" that annoy me. First off, and posibly least important to other people, is that they look unrealistic. They are MONSTEROUSLY huge, which one would think is not easy to make for every single settlement especialy in the Ancient Age. My other problem with them, and most importantly to other players, is that there seems to be a bug with the seige towers where after they reach the walls your soldiers don't seem to know how to get in the damn things ! They just bounce off and can't get into the tower.

My suggestion, if you care at all to know, would be to get rid of them all together. Make it so settlements can only get the normal "Stone Wall" with the exception of maybe the capital which would be allowed a "Epic Wall". Or, like I read somewere in your fourms from another player, make it so only the capital can have walls while normal settlements can't.

I don't know if i'm the only one with these veiws but it would be nice to know i'm not the only one to notice these things. Thx.

You're not alone...

What could work, is to just use the normal sized walls, but keep the upgrade paths to the larger walls but only apply the bonuses they offer.

I tried this and looks sucessful, also had to edit the siege engines, but haven't done the ladders yet

I have been thinking for a long time to limit these epic walls to certain settlements, Constantinople, Ravenna, Ctesiphon, and may finally do so, plus add some absurd bonuses to them to make them very difficult/impossible to scale. I also tried OTZ's idea and it seem to work
re:getting rid of them, I disagree with this (I know, it worked for SPQR Total War) but it would be highly unrealistic considering the times (much more so for Romans, and Easterners). I do not like Siege:Total War but also recognize sieges are an integral part of warfare.
re:the bugged siege ladders, don't make ur soldiers run up when entering the siege ladders, that seems to cause the bug, or more specifically making them run WHILE they are already on their way up
