It also enables building of towers and without building wall, town or city cannot be improved to next level. Wall are are also important, when it comes to free upkeep garrison units number, but only units recruited in current wall are without upkeep cost.

600 | 2 | A wall of sharpened stakes gives some security, stops livestock from straying and may delay a thief, but cannot hold out real attackers for very long. It is, however, cheap to build and doesn't require any special skills from the local peasants. | Town | Town Militia (Normans)

1200 | 2 | A rough wall of logs is a good deal stronger than a palisade and is enough to keep out bandits and other ruffians, but it still won't stop a really determined and organised attack. It does give a settlement a sense of permanence and identity, though. | Large Town | Town Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Peasant Spearmen (Saxons) and Archer Militia (Russia, Egypt) and Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Dismounted Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) |

2400 | 3 | Stone walls are substantial replacements for stakes and logs, as their cost shows. Better yet, they can be actively defended by warriors occupying the parapets, meaning only determined attackers can breach them with artillery fire or fight their way over them. | Minor City | Town Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Peasant Spearmen, Theigns (Saxons) and Archer Militia (Russia, Egypt) and Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Dismounted Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Papal Guard (Papal State) and Aztec Peasants, Aztec Spearmen, Aztec Archers, Aztec Spear Throwers, Aztec Warriors, Jaguar Warriors, Eagle Warriors,Cuahchiqueh, Coyote Priests, Arrow Warriors (The Aztecs) and Spear Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Spear Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Jinetes (Portugal) and Mongol Horse Archers (Mongols) and Mounted Sergeants (Normans) |

4800 | 3 | Large stone walls include strong towers and gatehouses, and give a real sense of security to a settlement. Properly manned, only a really organised attack will stand a chance of breaching these defences. Because of the expense, these walls are usually only built around rich or prestigious towns. | Large City | Town Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Peasant Spearmen, Theigns (Saxons) and Archer Militia (Russia, Egypt) and Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Dismounted Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Papal Guard (Papal State) and Spear Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Spear Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Scots Pike Militia (Scotland) and Mongol Horse Archers (Mongols) and Mounted Sergeants (Normans) and Archers Militia (Russia, Egypt, England, Byzantine Empire) and Crossbow Militia (HRE, France, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Poland, Moors) and Genoese Crossbow Militia (Milan) and Pavise Crossbow Militia( Venice, Papal State, Sicily, Hungary) and Saracen Militia (Egypt, The Turks, Timurids) |

9600 | 4 | The sheer size of these magnificent defences is enough to awe the peasants who work in their shadow! These walls are extremely costly, but that price guarantees security against all but the most well-prepared besieging force. Thanks to strong towers, battlements and gatehouses, the defenders can make any assault a chancy business. | Huge City | Town Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Peasant Spearmen, Theigns (Saxons) and Archer Militia (Russia, Egypt) and Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Dismounted Conquistadores (Spain and Portugal, only in Americas) and Swiss Guard (Papal State) and Spear Militia (England, Scotland, France, HRE, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Normans, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire, Moors, The Turks, Mongols, Timurids) and Italian Spear Militia (Milan, Venice, Papal State, Sicily) and Scots Pike Militia, Noble Pikemen (Scotland) and Mongol Horse Archers (Mongols) and Mounted Sergeants (Normans) and Archers Militia (Russia, Egypt, England, Byzantine Empire) and Crossbow Militia (HRE, France, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Poland, Moors) and Genoese Crossbow Militia, Dismounted Broken Lances (Milan) and Pavise Crossbow Militia( Venice, Papal State, Sicily, Hungary) and Saracen Militia (Egypt, The Turks, Timurids) and Hussars(Poland,Hungary) and Cossack Musketeers (Russia after gunpowder discovered) and Scots Guard(France) and Christian Guard (Moors) and Broken Lances(Milan, Venice, Papal State) |
