City Walls...

[docceh]

Are really amazing Improvements.

I have being doing some experiments with Walls to see how much of an effect they really do make and it is astounding.

A city without walls is pretty much a sitting duck, but if it does have walls then its like a nuclear fallout bunker inside of a mountain! Attacking AI cities that have walls can cost alot of units so I usually use a bombardment unit to try and take out the walls first...makes it much easier.

And also, why are walls so cheap to build shield wise!?! They only cost 20 shields

Probably because the defensive effect of walls is negated when the population of a city rises to a certain level.

What do you mean? I've never heard of that!

City walls provide a 50% defensive bonus in a Town, 0% bonus in a City or a Metropolis.

Towns (size 1-6) provide 0% defensive bonus.

Cities (size 6-12) provide 50% defensive bonus.

Metropolis (size 12+) provides 100% defensive bonus.
