Wall/Stronghold Warlords

Walls in Stronghold Warlords are tall and can be built in linear arrays, using stone. They can connect gatehouses and towers. From the ground, they are accessible through stairs, another gatehouse, a ladder or a siege tower. Multiple wall lines can be built next to each other, granting theoretically infinite thickness.
Infantry can move on the top of walls, who benefit from better combat capabilities: projectiles from lower ground deal decreased damage, while ranged soldiers gain higher range. Auxiliary archers are also able to ignite gunpowder trails without the need of a brazier. 
Moreover, walls can be outfitted hoardings to provide troops standing underneath protection against ranged damage, as well as various artillery turrets:
* Arrow turrets fire volleys of four arrows similar to archers.
* Mangonel platforms catapult a bunch of rocks at an area, damaging troops.
* Ballista platforms fire a giant bolt, severely damaging or outright killing units.
* Fire arrow platforms unleash a barrage of fiery arrows that scatter in a large area, devastating lighter troops.
Walls may be damaged by melee attacks and catapulted rocks, of which the latter causes collateral damage and sends units atop fly. They can be repaired by simply erecting a new wall line over it or with the help of the repair tool. Removing walls under an artillery platform removes the platform too, refunding half of its cost.
