    The walls you are showing were built after the end date of EB. And yeah, there is hardcoding that allows for each culture group to only have one texture. The walls are also hardcoded to size and shape, so a fourth tiered wall would have to be the same size and similar shape to all other "large walls". Finding someone to who knows how and is willing to do the work to make wall textures is very difficult and EB is lucky to have one new wall. Since the walls were not quite right for Getai, there was indecision in the team wether they should get Keltic walls or just have wooden walls.

    The walls at Sarmizegetusa may have been built after the end date, but most of the Dacian fortress walls (like those at Blidaru) were built during the reign of Burebista or earlier, which is not after the end date.

    Anyway, some stone wall is better than none at all. I guess if it can't be done it can't be done.
