Stone Walls can be upgraded to Fortified Walls in the Heroic Age. The upgrade costs 500 food, 400 gold and is available to the Greeks, Egyptians, and Chinese (both). The research time is 50 seconds. Fortified Walls have 600 hit points more than Stone Walls.
The Atlanteans can upgrade their Stone Walls to Bronze Walls in the Classical Age already. The upgrade costs 400 food, 300 gold. The research time is 50 seconds. Bronze Walls have 300 hit points and 2 Line of Sight more than Stone Walls.

History[]
| “ | Humans have been fortifying their towns for defense since the first towns were built over 10,000 years ago. Walls were built to keep out human enemies and protect food supplies needed to support the town during winter. Wall materials depended on what was available, including logs in northern forests or mud bricks in the Middle East. The preferred wall material, when available, was stone. It would not burn like wood and was much more difficult to break than bricks. | ” |

Trivia[]
- According to an unused voice line, information within the files, and pre-release screenshots, Stone Walls and Wooden Walls were initially meant to be separate, similar to the Stone Walls and Palisades, the latter as a gold-costing, resilient structure, and the Wooden Wall as the cheap, wood costing Archaic Age but weak structure.
- Norse Stone Walls appear to be made of wood, with stone bases only at the bottom.
