Walls give height advantage similar to hill with added bonus that when missile units on walls no cavalry or infantry can immediately reach them. If you place them well and defend stairs with infantry most of your missile units should get at least .8 to 2x their size in kills with very little losses. As good or better than heavy cavalry except that cavalry can run down prisoners easier.
On the walls so that they can fire little rainbows that land all over the place and kill next to no one. They never fire straight. Been playing the game for quite a while now. RTW had missile units on the walls slaughter attacking units MTW2 they just take up space and fire like mortars only with bad aim. Its a big LOS problem.
