For Byzantines, their Aqueducts are the wall-like part of their Cistern system.
With Season 9, it looks like Palisade Walls gained the ability to block Siege Projectiles (except bombards/cannons that directly target a unit/building).
Siege Projectile Blocking behavior (both friendly and enemy walls):
- Springald: Blocks piercing bolt
- Mangonel: Can stop rock (if targeting something near wall)
- Trebuchet: Can stop rock (if targeting something near wall)
- Bombards/Cannons:
- Directly target unit/building: Does not stop cannonball
- Attack ground: Stops the cannonball
Currently, Aqueducts are treated the same as palisade walls, despite the fact that Aqueducts have big openings under the arches.
That includes blocking Springald piercing bolts.
For Aqueducts, this should probably not affect Springald piercing bolts. And maybe consider the other siege projectiles as well.
Maybe Palisade Walls should not block Springald piercing bolts either? I don’t know.
