Destroying walls was possible in the roman era, the romans did it to carthrage I beleive.
You should be able to destroy the walls, just I think they should cost you money to destroy and not the other way around.
Thoughts?

I suppose CA made them 'undestroyable' so it would be harder for a player to sack / abandon / sack / abandon / ... .

Re: Destroying walls.
I suppose when sieging you could do alot of sapping lol...that would get those walls down.
Re: Destroying walls.
It would be nice to do to problem child provinces. If you set taxes to low and have 80 percent happiness from garrison and the city has a blue or red face you should be able to tear them down to decrease a chance for revolt but not an increase in happiness.
Tearing down walls of a city that was likely to rebel or did rebel was a classical way to kill revolts. When Carthage came to a rise in power they tore down all/most of the city wall's of cities they wanted under thier control and possibly cost them years later.
When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

Re: Destroying walls.
Can't you mod this? To make the walls demolishable.
Re: Destroying walls.
I remember that in Islam era (When muslims pretty much were the strongest) they had no walls around their cities, too.

Re: Destroying walls.
Unlikely. If nothing else fortified places provide a fallback in the case your field army gets manhandled, so the only cities without walls would be those that for some reason think they don't need them (Sparta?), can't afford them, or are actively forbidden by someone with the authority from having them. And I don't really see why the Muslim princes (who were pretty soon squabbling with each other anyway) would not have walls around their cities for defensive purposes.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Destroying walls.
Well, their have been many families that got to be ruling muslems, many seperations had happened, and at last it all fell to this. (I don't know how to translate any names to English from Arabic so..).
If you want a clarification for that, or want me to tell you the history of Islamic power, I'm ready to, but maybe that's considered off-topic in this thread, so PM me if you want anymore info.

Re: Destroying walls.
Ok...Back on topic.
Can there be a mod out there that makes walls demolishable?
