Unless we make some artificial wall-like buildings, but they will never work like "real" walls, they will simply act as unmovable obstacles.
That's not quite true. You can deploy troops outside of your walls as long as the walls are the thin, wooden kind. Granted, they need to be really close to the walls, but they're outside.
