Yes, but that's building the entire fort from scratch. Presumably, you'd only need to destroy the front half to get in.

I've studied medieval warfare, sieging et al : they did _not_ only damage the gates.
This isn't an argument about medieval warfare. I *KNOW* about the kind of indiscriminate destruction inflicted by lobbing large rocks with only a modest amount of aim at something. In Dom2, however, at the time of storming, it is clear that the fort walls are mostly intact. It'd be cool if there *WAS* some added wall deformation and holes blown through the thing, but apparently, there isn't. Look to that in Dominions 3, with all new castle-sieging action.
