I disagree, at Large stone walls the besieger gets machinegun towers. This actually gives a smart besieger the advantage. I find stone walls therefore the best defense, those towers are near harmless.

~Fluvius

what if he roleplay never to turn on those machinegun in siege tower (which is unrealistic anyway)
unless edited from vanila values, the large wall tower one fires AP ballista regularly

[antisocialmunky]

How is it unrealistic? The real things had ballista batteries and archer firing positions all over.

There's a reason why large cities were generally not stormed. The attackers would normally get slaughtered. Walls were a major deal. In fact, wooden walls are probably way too weak in RTW.

Not way too weak, as wooden wall are still... wood... but it is true that stones wall are underpowered, on a historical point of view... as the big majority of city capture was threw starvation, as very few empire had the financial and military means to storm a large stone wall... Of corse, for the sake of playing, CA had to make the walls pregnable, as otherwise, the game would have meen named : Total Siege

TATW (a major M2TW mod) has hilariously powerful ballistae and catapults though. I've torched whole towns after breaching the walls. Especially fun if you're playing Elves, for maximum historical inaccuracy.
