This is an easy one: every time I build walls some huge unstoppable stack flattens the place regardless.

[@hakon1027]

Seems you have never faced the issue, that the Ai is moving with many small armies through your land and demolishes all. Walls are just for buying time and to force the enemy to attack you with the main army or to let it be.

[@jakubs.5966]

@@hakon1027 Yep. On Legend level, you can predict where they will attack and counter before they even strike/assault settlement. On typical player level, you get walls so you can react fast enough, so they don't waltz over more then 1-2 settlements. It all depends on race, Dwarf and Skaven should 100% of time get walls, especially on edges of your empire and in early stages. Lizardmen got useless walls and so on.

[@T3AMCXMCHUCK]

The point of walls isnt really the garrison provided, its so that you can bring other armies to defend the settlement and not just loose it instantly when the slightest force comes

[@realglassberg8022]

@@jakubs.5966 I eventually stopped building walls as Vampire Counts because their garrisons are so weak, but any ranged faction can pull off some neat wins if you get lucky. Even if the settlement is still lost it can buy time to reinforce or weaken the army enough that the next settlement can hold.

[@Debilinside]

@@realglassberg8022 Yeah, AI often doesnt have siege attacker, but even if they do they use 2 armies for a walled settlement often giving you 5-10 turns to react.

[@SuperCakeFTW]

Love ya, legend.

[@yidingliu8663]

When in doubt, attack!

[@lewishorsman2219]

I mean level 3 walls and above give you a pretty good garrison. All you need to is recruit a lord/hero and dump some points into unit buffs and it’s pretty much good to go. But that does depend on how many stacks show up. Level 5 walls can pretty much keep out one or two powerful stacks. My play style is always recruiting heroes that can damage enemy forces a treat so when they do attack there’s half an army left. Heroes and lords are so undervalued for what they can do on the campaign map. Take wizards in empire. Recruit a beast wizard or another crappy one and they’ll make havoc against enemy settlements, armies and even enemy lords and heroes.

[@blanck7457]

I had a lvl 5 wall settlement stop 3 dwarf army’s

[@lewishorsman2219]

@@blanck7457 I see playthroughs where people never have any agents on the map. Like dude? Two agents running around can damn near win the game for you and you barely have to lift a finger.

The weirdest thing is, when your anything other than Skaven walls might not make sense, but as skaven you make money from the walls so it's weird not to build them. As Bretonnia you get free walls at tier 3 so money is making more sense there but like, Bretonnia with 20 unit garrisons everywhere is pretty strong too, if you want minimal amount of armies so that other factions don't see you as a huge threat.

Aside from the fact that Skaven have such good towers that even tier 4 ones can let you face pretty much any odds you don't control large army, don't they provide income? Meaning there really isn't any reason to not build walls. I haven't played anything but Chaos, Empire, and Vampire Counts for 3 patches though, so I might be outdated.
