Walls made of paper

**Skowdey** · February 06, 2015, 04:28 PM

I don't know if this has been posted yet but I was watching it today and it really bugged me.

In this gamespot preview video I noticed at around the 2:25 mark that soldiers literally ran down the walls of the fort like they were those market stalls in Rome 2's town centers.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Anyone know anything about this or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Also keep in mind this was made January 9th so the build may be old.

If anyone could post the video without the link that'd be cool, but for now the link is in the spoiler

Hmm, I didn't notice anyone running down walls in the video - the walls seem to be already down and the units ran up to it.

Yes I will validate your concern. It happens instantaneously it looks utterly ridiculous and there is no reason for units to trample their own walls. Another "glitch?"

Have you seen it in any other videos, like in the youtubers preview builds
it might just be the view distance because that guy in the gamespot video is running it on low setting

No I've not seen a 'camp' battle before in Attila

Not 100% certain, but I think fort walls, or certain portions of fort walls, are destroyable in Rome 2. Then again maybe I had a siege engine.

Yes they definitely are. But not in the way depicted in the video above.

Even after the walls are destroyed the units still seem to walk around them and exit through the main entrance. Couple this with the tower-crumbling we've seen it may be that there is a bug with building/defense health?

Or my second guess would be that this is done to prevent the battle situation we have in Rome 2 whereby fort battles always essentially came down to a slog at the wall opening.

Hard to tell what is really happening, if it's intended to happen and the reasons behind why it is if so. I guess we'll known when we play.
