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

you should try to play M2TW without any cannons, and told me the result of the sieges

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.

Those are trolls though, not ogres. Ogre is the French root of the word Orc. And I hate those film uruks. They are twice as big as they are supposed to be.
Some Ents would be nice, maybe for the Getai - to make them even more OP.

OOps.... I just realize that I watch shrek 3 and forgot about real middle earth...
and change roman legionaries to those orcs will be better...

Ok, ok, back to the topic, what did large stone wall towers supposed to do? shooting ballistas or just arrows, or better, shot nothing?
