I had made a thread about it but no one responded, but seeing as this one is simmilar i figured i'd ask.

Also i agree, walls seem somewhat weak at times, that or seige weapons are awfully strong. It only took a few hits from a trebuches to bring them down, and tends to kill tons of your soilders in the process.... (IE, mongols) >.>
They tend to get slaughtered becuase their disordered and usually are so tightly packed their recieving bunching effects. Generally if you want to take a wall by storming it with a latter or tower, the unit needs to enter the ramparts a little ways away from the other units. Also you have to remember those towers will fire on you continually until you capture them. I'd suggest storming them with plenty of powerful shock infantry.
