Move Fortified Wall and some Tower Techs to Walls/Towers

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

In lot of other succesful AoE/AoM franchise games, the techs to upgrade walls and towers are not behind university but rather done from the building itself. So my suggestion is following:

  • Fortified Wall can now be researched from Stone Walls (Price increased by 50F/50W for balance reasons)
  • Guard Tower and Keep upgrades can now researched from Towers
  • Arrowslits, Murder Holes and Heated shot still in University

This opens more space for adding couple new techs to university while removing some building requirements for using towers and walls effectively.

Palisade walls should be upgraded to stone walls.

A new building that would proceed the Stone Wall can be introduced and it can be available in the Feudal Age while the Stone Wall is moved to the Castle Age and the Fortified Wall moved to the Imperial Age.

Definitely not. At least not without a vil coming over and turning the palisade into a 1 hp build site before constructing it.

Why not add a new Imperial Wall and reduce the HP of Stone and Fortified Wall.

No thanks with the Imperial wall because that isn’t needed. Just need Light Wall, Stone Wall, Fortified Wall for Feudal, Castle, and Imperial Ages respectively. That’s all. Rather than reducing the HP of the Stone and Fortified Walls, they can either have their HP increased or become more resistant to damage that those walls take.

My suggestion would be literally the same for gameplay but just the new visuals and name in Imperial instead of in Feudal Age.

These would make sense at the Castle, since are a reference to their defense.
