agree with genming, defensive structures can only be sold when you are every sure that you can't be attacked any more.

Or know that if the enemy get that far, you're done for anyway

(i.e. your army lost it's fight outside...)

yes, when you lost outside, it usually means you already lost the initiative, but with defensive structures, you can live longer, maybe long enough to wait till the situation is changed in the game. belive me, when an attacker sees there is not much to gain, he might chose another target.

Well - when I say you've lost outside, I'm referring to the times that you're holding your defence outside, not the times like right now where I've simply been force back some distance.

If you're fighting your defence outside of the castle in towers, walls and the like, and THEN you lose, I would say it's a fairly sure bet you've had it :-)

Well, if you were to sell parts of your castle, I would only do it to the ones that are completely safe. Say you were in a corner, yes go ahead and remove the back towers and perhaps some of the wall.

lol and so you have been pushed back to where the enemy is close to seeing your walls and you, in your desperate need for resources, have distroyed your rear walls and towers. You must now use 1/6 of your forces to patrol the surronding area to insure there aren't any barracks or enemy forces building up to take advantage of your "holes". And if you do happen to find a force that is gathering or mobilized, HOW do you stop it from killing you?
Use your new recruits? and what about your front lines, No resupply? Could you build your walls back before the enemy is too close? your best bet is to pull everything you have(unless 2 HC can take care of it) and defend 1 position, because you are but.t f.u.c.k.ed either way you choose.


Moral of the story;
Don't disstroy your walls unless dier need says other wise!
