Hrm, so I developed Hamburg into a Fortress...

Before long I see myself besieged by a full stack Danish army. Dismounted Gothic knights, trebuchets and what-have-you-not. Looking at my four units of light infantry and single unit of archers, I think, "Hmm, I'm in for a world of pain."

Anyway, the trebuchets wreck the fortress' outer wall at two spots, and wreck any towers that may have shot on them, before assailing me. So, I fall back, thinking, "Let's make a stand at the inner wall, maybe the AI won't bring its siege engines into the city and I have a chance to take some down with my unit of archers."

Imagine my dismay when I suddenly see enemy troups on the inner wall. Ha. It appears the outer ring wall connects directly to the inner one. How useless is that? Why have a inner wall then? If the outer one falls, so does the inner.

I should shoot my architect.

I only have one Fortress so far, so... is it the same with each one? Does the Citadel upgrade have the same problem?
