Saying that something is or isn't going to be added is just unnecessarily discouraging, and pointless, so I don't know why you're wasting your time.

"I doubt any of these suggestions will be added" followed by "Saying that something is or isn't going to be added is (bad)"? Huh?

As for wasting my time,.. that's a strange thing for you to say to me. You often post at great length about things which clearly aren't going to be added. I'm not sure why you think I'm wasting my time and you aren't, when all I'm doing is shelving an argument about this because it's pointless. I'm not trying to be rude or discourage you, but I don't have to be KO or JK to make an educated guess.

They could still go around them, ofcourse, being smaller than elephants, and it would be good balance to allow other troops to tear them down. It's meant to be effective against elephants and other large tramplers, it's not meant to be an "anti-elephants only" spell.

Size makes no difference in the ability of a unit to 'go around' an enemy that's 'blocking' it. As units the fortifications will be targeted and aggressively sought out and attacked, not simply chopped at because they're in the way. You'll end up with a throng of guys surrounding it trying to get at it and attack while mages bomb it (and the troops around it) with spells.
