...there should be a special map for alesia... a hilltop fortress.

I'd like it if barbarian settlements were harder to take in general.

I see no real difference between a palisade and a wooden wall to tell the truth, the so called 'improved' defences on the later are useless, the wall lasts a few seconds longer against a ram and the city may survive a couple more turns before being starved out.

Not really much for whole other level of wall. I'd like to see the barbarians get not stone walls but a barbarian equivalent, still made of wood and much more fragile than a stone wall but still with decent towers and walkways to mount troops on.

You could use siege towers, ladders and saps to assault them or you could still walk a ram up to the wall and start battering it down with that, though it would take a while and you'd be exposed to fire from the towers and defenders the entire time.

Yeah, Barbarians, or Gauls at least, should be able to build a hilltop fort at their third city level. A reinforced wall at the top of a hill would be an utter arsehole to try and defeat if defended properly.

and stone walls if it is correct alesia was stone walled not epic walls but just the first one

i would think it the coolest thing if you could desingn your own fort, that way you could make some historicly accurate and extremely well defended fort. not a settlement but a well fortified uh fort with first level stone walls, towers and moats.
sweet huh mabey double walls, watchtowers, watever or mabey i am just being stupid again...it happens.

If you like building your own castles (fort, castle, close enough

) I reccommend the game series called Stronghold. First class castle-building (and seiging!)
