“ | This giant wall of boulders can be destroyed. | ” |
—In-game description |
The Boulder Wall is an unconstructible wall featured in Age of Mythology. They can be found at the Scenario Editor, as well as in some campaign scenarios.
Overview[]
Boulder Walls are extremely tough walls, even against siege weapons, such as Petroboloi, as they combine enormous hit points with very large resistances. This makes it the third strongest wall in the game, after the Wall of Atlantis and Wall of Troy, both of which possess near-absolute resistance on all forms of damage (and complete invulnerability in the original game).
They are featured in some scenarios, usually to deny passage to the player, but in one case, they are entirely decorative; in the scenario War of the Titans, four Boulder Walls clamped together represent the site from where Gaia will emerge to defeat her son, Kronos.
In the Tale of the Dragon expansion, there is an Asian version of the boulder wall, which is more brownish in appearance. It has identical hit points and armor.
History[]
“ | This pile of rocks is not natural. The huge stones were moved by giants - or by men at tremendous effort - to block unwanted passage. | ” |
