    Sweboz do not use walls, only craven women cover behind walls!!

    That being said, when you take a city from the craven she-men from the south, Slagonez are not always good, only if your enemy is armoured. Herunautoz, Druhtiz Bastarnistos or Rhaetian Axemen works fine then.

    I often find that any unit with ranged weapons, even Toxotai, works wonders on walls.

    AP Units are good, but not great. Try to make a custom battle, with makedonian hypaspitai, pedites extraordinary or spanish atack infantry (Carthago) on the walls. They killed every one without loosing one man.

    Galatikoi Kleruchoi and Giusim Aravim Tsfonim (or other archer-spearmen) are very useful in a city defense.

    Which is why most of their units are quite decent at assault. Xerunoudozez are best for this, unless you are going against heavily armoured units. Then you'd be better off with Clubmen or Worgozez. Though the latter are superior on walls to most units (due to incredible attack and defence skill).

    The Getic Drapanai are superb at holding walls if you don't have your own towers shooting arrows into their unprotected backs.

    Though they have no armor to speak of, they can last long on the walls on accord of their immense killing abilities: slaughtering several enemies every second means few losses in the long run.

    Kardakâ Arteshtâr have performed very well for me when assaulting walls as the Hayasdan.
