Can enemy units pass through rock or forest blocks?

yes, but it takes longer for them to cross.

In general,do i have to make a circle with my wall that circles the city to make it a good defense or is it good the way i have it?

I don't exactly know how "you" have it but you can block the entrances with 2 wall each should provide enough protection.

the black lines are walls you do not need and most are basically useless. Ate the east entrance, you have a watchtower (this is the only building in the game that enemy (non-foot troops, as with the walls) can not pass. Unlike the walls, a watch tower requires war to demolish (walls you can demolish without war).

At your north entrance, all you need is a wall where the red dot is (you will have to terraform the rock first.

Other than that, you are basically protected right now. All you need to do now, is optimize your wall usage so that you get the best protection for the least amount of population cost.

i meant the rock and forest blocks on the city screen. not on the map.

Because what you tell me with the useless walls etc, gives me the idea,that all i need to do is to block the 4 roads that lead to my city,and leave every other area on the sides unblocked.

i see, thank you very much bro, were really helpful

My troops wont let me position them on the walls. Is there a way to do that?

Hey bud, It is silly to say you only need walls in four spots. Walls provide defense within your city too. You can surround your building(s) with walls inside of your city as well to give an extra layer of protection. Do you only have to have walls at the four entry spots - well, I suppose, but would you benefit from having more - yes. Lastly, if you are in need of emergency resources, the demolition of the "extra" walls can provide you with that in a pinch. Seeya, Joe

Thank you for that clarification, Crimson. Since the game support documentation is so time consuming to decipher that it takes away from game enjoyment I had not yet found anything describing the amounts one could recoup from demolition. And, in terms of other commentary, this is supposed to be a game of strategy - if your only real strategy is to have more troops, and not to combine troops with protection (strategically placed walls), then perhaps this game is much more simplistic and unimaginative than the opening web pages suggest.

Thanks, Joe
