You should be able to destroy the walls, just I think they should cost you money to destroy and not the other way around.
Thoughts?

Agreed.
I suppose CA made them 'undestroyable' so it would be harder for a player to sack / abandon / sack / abandon / ... .
But yeah, you should be able to destroy walls... :wall:
But not with your head:idea2:Quote:

It would be nice to do to problem child provinces. If you set taxes to low and have 80 percent happiness from garrison and the city has a blue or red face you should be able to tear them down to decrease a chance for revolt but not an increase in happiness.
Tearing down walls of a city that was likely to rebel or did rebel was a classical way to kill revolts. When Carthage came to a rise in power they tore down all/most of the city wall's of cities they wanted under thier control and possibly cost them years later.
Catapults don't work?
I suppose when you're defending you could fire on them from the inside :)Quote:

Can't you mod this? To make the walls demolishable.
I remember that in Islam era (When muslims pretty much were the strongest) they had no walls around their cities, too.Quote:

And I don't really see why the Muslim princes (who were pretty soon squabbling with each other anyway) would not have walls around their cities for defensive purposes.
Well, their have been many families that got to be ruling muslems, many seperations had happened, and at last it all fell to this. (I don't know how to translate any names to English from Arabic so..).
If you want a clarification for that, or want me to tell you the history of Islamic power, I'm ready to, but maybe that's considered off-topic in this thread, so PM me if you want anymore info.
Ok...Back on topic.
Can there be a mod out there that makes walls demolishable?
