help assaulting stone walls

(Haven't read all replies in their entirety, so excuse me if I repeat your suggestions.)

• Forget rams and ladders.
• If you have sapping capable units, build one sap point.
• Sap or no, build two siege towers.
• Assign the siege towers to melee units with higher defence capabilities, most preferably armoured and shielded, to sustain as few losses as possible to the magic laser guns.
• Deploy before the front with the shortest possible route to the plaza.
• Group your melee units into two; one to follow each siege tower. (Three if you have a sap point.)
• Group your missile units into two, one for following each siege tower.
• Once the game starts, examine the enemy deployment on the walls. If they have so many capable units on the walls, the battle will be bloody.
• Draw your siege tower manually, without clicking any of the walls. Turn FAW on and off as you approach the defenders and use your magic bartixian auto-operating siege tower machine gun to decimate them. Spare your ammunition to divide between the enemy units. Then click a wall and start the storming.
• Have your support units approach as your initial assault regiment climbs up. Two at a time, or even one. Have fresh reserves. Don't make them run unless in emergency - such as enemy machine gun salvo from the towers.
• Micromanage your two towers to assault simultaneously to two walls, one at each side of the gatehouse, as close from the gatehouse and towers as possible.
• Invade the gatehouse and the nearby towers so that they can open to you.
• Once the wall defenders are taken care of, send your missile regiments up the walls via siege towers. There are still defenders below to be killed, although they are pretty good at getting themselves grinded by the captured gatehouse and towers.
• Once you are certain that the backbone of the enemy defence is broken, have the rest of your troops march through the gate. There will be counter-attacks originating from the plaza, so keep them in formation ready to battle, defence-high infantry first.
• Use your missile and skirmishers efficiently (turn FAW off and target manually) to decrease the number and morale of the remaining defence force even more.
• Advance organized and calmly towards the plaza.
