Troops leave a siege tower as a thin stream and are defeated individually. The proposed alternative is for the assault force to reach the wall, assemble at the exit, and push forward as a formed body. A tower's value lies in delivering enough soldiers together to establish a foothold. The awkward game mechanic exposes the importance of cohesion and the vulnerability of piecemeal attacks.
