hmm, to counter, in the experience i just described, i lost just a few seige tower pushing troops to the wall arrow fire. maybe because those were hastatii with their shields up while pushing. i figured, i would lose many more if i had the walls still shooting in my units' backs while they were fighting in the streets; had i just used one or two sap points.
