The Citadel Wall is a Egyptian wall in Age of Mythology. It is an upgrade of the Fortified Wall and the final wall for the Egyptians.
With 600 more hit points than the Fortified Wall, it is an impressive defense. The Citadel Wall was the strongest wall in the game until the release of The Titans, where it is surpassed by the Atlantean Orichalcum Wall. The Tale of the Dragon expansion introduced the Chinese Great Wall, even topping the Orichalkos Wall and relegating the Citadel Wall to third place.

History[]
| “ | A further improvement in walls was to build citadels at intervals along the wall, not just at corners. Citadels were points of extra strength protecting both staircases down into the town and concentrations of defenders. Climbing attackers could be placed under fire from multiple citadels, as well as the wall face. If attackers got onto the wall, they could not get into the town without taking a citadel first. "One will build the Walls-of-the-Ruler to bar Asiatics from entering Egypt; they shall beg water as supplicants so as to let their cattle drink. Then Order will return to its seat while Chaos is driven away." -- the Prophesies of Neferti |
