Would the defenders necessarily be the ones higher up the stairs anyway? If attackers scale the walls, they'd be fighting their way down the stairs.

- watwut 5y agoThey probably wont scale all the way to tower. That would be excessive scalling, since walls are smaller by a lot.
- littlestymaar 5y agoYou scale the walls, then go down in the actual castle. Why bother about the getting in the higher parts of the tower itself? People trapped inside a single tower won't last long, as they probably don't have much supply stored there.
- watwut 5y agoThe tight spiral staircase thing is about towers. The road toward and from wall was large non-spiral staircase. There is entrance from tower too, but in castles I have seen it was not the only way to get there.
- rich_sasha 5y agoIf I were an attacker, with the defendants stuck in the tower, I'd probably just shut the door at the bottom and wait. Maybe start a small fire at the bottom and let the smoke do the rest. No need to get messy on the actual stairs.
- lostlogin 5y ago> No need to get messy on the actual stairs. This would only be a problem if you didn’t bring any lefties.
- bluGill 5y agoTime is on the defenders side though. They can just wait you you in their well stocked castle, while you need to find food and worry about someone from outside coming to rescue the defenders.
