On-wall deployment - M2TW

In siege battles in Medieval II: Total War infantry can stand and fight on the flat wall surfaces around the perimeter of most settlements, forts and castles. This article explains the mechanics of this process and how to add your own on-wall deployment blocks with IWTE.

To date only infantry units can be deployed on walls, mods that purport to have artillery on walls have achieved the effect by having wide blocks of terrain hidden under a superficial 'wall' structure.

In game when you deploy or give move orders to troops on a wall you will see small yellow symbols which represent where each soldier will stand and the direction they will stand.
