or later this

Bigger walls should have an option to get on and walk freely, attach towers just like in Stronghold xD
Second thing is that people shouldn't be able to see through the walls, there should be some kind of fog of war or black screen of what's inside or what's outside if you're in.
However obviously you can see everything clearly from towers and walls and exchange arrows with attackers.
Also what about another siege machines? Catapult to siege from longer distances or balista to slowly shoot heavy dmg arrows.
