Stone Wall
Defensive - FeudalDescription
"Strong defensive wall made of stone. Available from the Feudal Age, it provides solid protection against most attacks."
Strategic Analysis
Strategic Role
Stone Walls are your primary long-term defense. They are extremely durable and require siege weapons to destroy efficiently. Essential for defensive civilizations.
Key Tactics
Full Stone Wall
Transition from Palisades to Stone Walls in Castle Age for a much more durable defense.
Hybrid Walling
Use Stone Walls for critical sections (gold, Town Center) and Palisades for less important areas.
Tower Support
Combine Stone Walls with Guard Towers for a complete defensive system. Walls protect towers from melee.
Second Layer
Build a second layer of Stone Walls behind your first. If the first falls, the second buys more time.
Warning
Stone Walls consume stone, which is also needed for Castles and Town Centers. Balance your stone usage carefully.
Stats Analysis
Stone Walls have 7 times the HP of Palisades and high armor. They require siege to break efficiently.
Hit Points
1800 HP
Massive HP pool. Takes significant time for most units to destroy.
Melee Armor
8
High melee armor reduces damage from attacking units significantly.
Cost
5 Stone
Stone is valuable. Use strategically rather than walling everything.
Placement Tip
Build Stone Walls at key chokepoints and around your most valuable resources. Save stone for critical walls.
Timing Tip
Start building Stone Walls in Castle Age when you have enough stone income.
