I'd like to make the walls across my empire like chinese did...The walls would give 50% defensive bonus..This would be a really nice addition...Your thoughts on this...
 
like forts along your border that are impassable or what
 
As a start it would be easy and goodlooking if two fortresses next to each other connected. Thus a serie of fortresses would look like the Great Wall in ancient times and the Maginot line in modern times. This is very easy to implement, but there`s also a need to make fortresses better or else nobody will build them. Perhaps fortresses should include a small garrison once built with no upkeep. And fortresses upgraded to barricades could get defensive bombardemnt as well.
 
Here was my wall model:

With Construction, your troops can build border walls. These walls line one side of a square(like rivers). It take a unit an entire turn to cross a wall if they are not yours. This means that they must start on the square the wall border and it takes the turn to move to the other side. That would be useful for slowing down attackers or preventing raiding. Also, walls coudl be attacked and destroyed. Forst built al;ong the wall would automatically link up and have additonal powers. Great wall would be when a wall walls in 90% of your territory. It would be a small wonder.
 
i think i have a better idea on what you are trying to say (i dont really agree with this but i think this would be the best way to implament what the first person wanted). First have the Great Wall built simotously in 3 cities-different parts like part a,b,c-and this would create a wall along every land border you have. This wall would not only take a turn to go on and get off that tile but would give massive defenseive bonus to a unit that is either on this tile or fortfied. So this is what i think would be best if they were to put this in but i think this would be to easy and create a massive super power in the ancient age and up until it would be come obselete and possiblely be a win game way so this is what i have to say-no good idea though
