Seriously defenders already have enough advantages even before the change...

Fortifications supporting troops
Being able to reinforce from allies through embassy
No limit on how many troops can fight in battle

Now they've armed defenders on high lvl walls with sniper rifles and archer towers shoot what? Barret .50 cals or something based on how well they destroy battering rams/pults/ballistas before they are even touched.

I really think this needs to be toned down... either revert back to how combat is originally or just settle with a less drastic change that doesnt give defenders howitzers as weapons.

Suggestion A: Range bonus only applies to fortifications such as archer towers and trebuchets.
Suggestion B: Instead of 5% range bonus to wall level, make it a 5% defense bonus per wall level to troops instead.

Anyways this really has to be changed because currently the range bonus to walls just allows players to grow big and strong only to realise that they cant attack anything because everyone else has impenetrable defenses like they do and after reaching that peak, players will only quit since its impossible to attack others, or get attacked themselves since everyone has God Mode.

I mean would anyone play a FPS if everyone has infinite life and cant be killed?
