Can we build cities?

I thought I read somewhere that you could build more than one wall.. like a lesser wall and a greater wall. I want to remember reading that in regard to orcs, since they have smaller palisade walls and then stouter walls, and that they could build one of each.

Or perhaps it was to build one.. then upgrade to the other. I don't remember now.

"The Men are also the only race that can build two layers of Heavy Walls – allowing for a large town with a centralized keep".

I read that in this post : http://www.reverieworld.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=2016

Meaning it can be 2 outer walls and 1 innerwall or just 2 walls.
I assume 2 walls.
Maybe a dev or someone can clear that up.

That quote says two heavy walls for humans only. What I remember of the orcs said ( I think..) that they could build one of their palisade (weaker) walls, and one heavy wall. And that would seem to reinforce that.. so everyone can, I suppose, have two walls? (one cruddy, one strong.) Except humans who, I suppose, may be able to have two strong walls.

"Players have two choices for walls: Palisade and Heavy Wood."
"layers may opt to build a layer of palisade walls and then later, build heavy walls over them when they have sufficient resources."

I quoted two lines from what i have read in the explanation.
Not sure if my perception of reading is right on this one but i assume that you could build a palisade walls and upgrade it to heavy walls. By building heavy walls over the palisade ones.

Hmm maybe you could be right but i think orcs can only build 1 layer of walls.

I understand why players can't choose to build there own walls, if anyone has played the stronghold series, particulary SH2 in multiplayer people could build nothing but towers, which had about 10x the stength of walls. So there castles where just walls of towers.. not only did it look stupid but it was almost impossible to break through.

I assume due to the fact we can't build a massive wall defense that walls should actually take a considerable amount of effort to destroy/climb, otherwise people will just abuse 10 siege weapons or what not and take them down in seconds, im sure the devs have taken that into consideration though.

Thats why i hate Stronghold 2 and stoped playing after 2 days online .

And sometimes the Walls in rts games (aoe etc..) looks really stupid cause of hills etc....

In DoF it cant happend ... (i hope)

building cities make this game much more simmilar combo between Civilizationa and total war series :P
