    I just thought about this the other night.
    It's not logical that whether you have no walls at all or epic stone walls is of no consequence to the happiness or lawfulness of your citizens. Walls should make them feel safe->happy, and solid, guarded gates should reduce crime compared to a city where one may enter or exit at any point.
    I think I'll mod this.
    In my current campaign, I have stubbornly refused to build even palisades at Thapsis and Corduba, while most cities have stone walls and Carthage is building epic ones. I was kind of surprised not to see any kind of positive effect from having those epic thingies, but I build them all the same just so I can have a look. Money's not a problem

    I personally find wooden walls to be practically useless. Other than delaying an assault by about a turn or two, they give very little advantage to the defenders. I have to arc my missiles over the wall because apparently my men are all fat lards and they would cause the whole thing to collapse or something.

    The ONLY wall type worth having is a STONE wall. The only problem with that is that my frontier towns are the ones getting attacked. They arent large or advanced enough to build stone walls most of the time. While those that are able to construct them, tend to be in the heart of my empire, far away from enemy lines, and are normally my troop producing/economic powerhouses and are therefore most likely far too busy building more and better militray/economic improvements and dont have the time (or even a good reason) to construct a stone wall. If anything the wall should be upgradeable to at least a STONE wall once you hit large town status or something, either that or make it so you can put troops on the second tier wooden wall. It may not be that great of a height advantage, but its something...ok nevermind...just give me stone walls...please?

    I usually never bother with walls as the enemy never reaches my towns. They are intercepted as soon as they cross my border or try to siege one of the many passage blocking forts.
