I don't no if this has been mentioned before,but in Fate Of The Dragon soldiers could walk on walls.If units in AOM were able to walk on walls it would make sieges a lot more realistic.Maybe units could fire of the walls.You know,it would be like having awall of towers.

i like that idea, no more to say other than that i dont know how it would make seiges impossible. i mean if u have a catapult or ballista u can shoot the ppl off the wall. and rams, rams r like one of the best in the game (AOC) so i dont think archers will hurt them much.

Yeah I wouldn't expect to see any building type much similar to an AoK castle. It just wouldn't fit in.

archers on walls should be able to shoot, with small bonuses to range, attack, and pierce armor. Make sieges impossible? ok, lets think of this as the worst-case scenario: think of it as a fully garrisoned tower in AoK. How did you take that tower down? Simple. BLAST IT TO PIECES WITH A TREB OR CANNON. As it was in all other RTS games I have played, I'm almost certain that in AOM the best siege can outrange towers/walls. If it can't, then AOM would be nothing but tower-building anyway. Also if a section of wall is attacked with a catapult, all units on that section should die.
