Overview

Function and access

A movement-blocking wall-like editor object introduced with The Forgotten. It ignores anti-building bonus damage, making it unusually resilient to siege attacks This determines what the structure contributes to the settlement: economic buildings support resource flow, production buildings add access to an army line, and defensive buildings protect space or routes.

Durability and battlefield role

The structural values describe what this building can protect, garrison, or attack. Use them to decide whether it is a safe production point, a defensive anchor, or a structure that needs support; scenario and campaign buildings may have rules that differ from standard matches.

Movement and durability

Units cannot pass through an Aqueduct. It behaves like a wall and does not take anti-building bonus damage, so siege units are less effective against it than against most buildings.
