Thread: gates and walls

  1. #1

    Default gates and walls

    when gates CLOSED : do attackers need to defeat defenses and then fully destroy the walls before they can plunder ? and when fully destroyed, are the walls reduced to lvl 0 ?

    when gates OPEN : are the walls spared from incurring any damage ?

    thx in advance !

    When gates are closed attackers have to be able to overcome wall defenses (traps, abatis, logs, archer towers, etc). If they succesfully overcome defenses they then plunder. If they are defeated they do not plunder. The walls do not drop in level ever. You just have to rebuild the defenses in the wall when they are wiped out.

    When the gates are open the wall defenses and your troops fight together. You can still incur losses to your wall defenses as well as your troops.

    so does that mean if gates are open, you get a better, stronger defense by combining your Walls, AT's, Troops, etc to defend against an attack?

    Might be a stupid question, but why bother to keep it closed?

    The answer is yes.

    What about if all your troops are out fighting. Is it better to close the gates, or does it make no difference?

    The answer is yes to the first question.

    However, in response to the second question if you have for example 10K archer towers for wall defenses and 25K archers for troops, the combination of those two would be better then closing gates and just letting the AT's handle the attack. However, if you are getting attacked by 100K archers and have your gates opened you are going to lose all your AT's and all your archers. So in that case it may be smart to close your gates and at least save your archers. If you don't know what is coming you run the risk of losing all your troops, so might only want it open when you know you can win. If you leave your gates open all the time you may wake up some morning and have no defenses or troops.
