Siege Tower single-wall bypass
A Siege Tower can carry infantry across a fully closed wall, offering a way to bypass a single defensive layer when a direct breach is too slow. The tactic depends on the wall being complete and the landing point being usable.
Overview
A Siege Tower can carry infantry across a fully closed wall, offering a way to bypass a single defensive layer when a direct breach is too slow. The tactic depends on the wall being complete and the landing point being usable.
Plan and execution
Scout the base for a single outer wall and a safe place to unload. Fill the Tower with a small infantry group, cross the wall, and target a resource camp or open the Gate from the inside while the main army pressures elsewhere.
Risks and adaptation
A second wall layer can block the plan, and the ability has little value when open routes already exist. Do not fill the Tower with the whole army or unload into a Castle-covered area without support.
