City Walls can be raised and repaired by using wood products, such as square beams, round beams, and planks, which will lead to an increase in demand for these products. The City Wall can be raised, repaired and upgraded only by the Barons who own the city, and it will offer a defense boost for the army or armies that are defending the city (armies stationed in that location). To add to this advantage, when the wall is attacked, the first hit from the walls defenders will kill 5 soldiers from the attacking army. The necessary materials to create, upgrade and repair the City Wall will increase depending on the rank of the city and the level of the wall. If a city that already has a City Wall built is upgraded to a higher rank, the city wall will be demolished. The defense wall will degrade only during battles, with 1 level for every 100 defenders killed. We hope that these new modifications will help new and old players alike, and make it easier to manage your city and the territories owned.
