Wall/Stronghold 2

Walls in Stronghold 2 can be built on a player's own estate only. They can be built using either stone or wood. A full-height wall tile can be connected to gatehouses and towers. From the ground, walls are accessible through a stairwell, a wooden platform, a tower, a ladder or a siege tower. 
While wooden walls are generally cheaper to build, stone walls are an obviously superior choice due to them being stronger, as well as being impervious to infantry weapons. In addition, stone walls can be built in up to triple thickness segments at the same time.
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. Mounted knights and the Lord must dismount first in order to access the walls. Moreover, walls can be outfitted with various defensive tools: 
* Rock baskets can be used by nearby soldiers to hurl rocks at enemy soldiers beneath. 
* Stone tippers can release a pile of rocks from their holder underneath them. 
* Rolling logs can be ignited and released from a holder, knocking back troops and damaging buildings. 
* Braziers can be used by nearby archers to ignite pitch ditches in range.
Walls may be damaged by tunnels and catapulted rocks, causing collateral damage and sending units atop flying off. Wooden walls are also vulnerable to infantry. They can be repaired by simply erecting a new wall line over it, or by engineers standing by.
