New forts and gameplay

This is some time now that new forts and castles went in production.

After numerous battles, in various conditions, around and inside forts, i find they didn't improve the war experience:

archers and mages (ranged) have hard time to use their skills from and to the fort
battles after the door went down are over very fast, mainly because door is down when defender's warriors are all dead, and attacking warriors simply rule in the fort, they rush on walls, in tower, and kill easily anyone still alive
fall damages now forbid to jump from walls if you don't have full health, and walls are narrow, so a mage or archer can only go in one direction to escape rushing warriors
walls are continuous around the central place, so attackers can arrive from both sides
castles are far too big, it is far too easy to hide, and boring to search for enemies in, people are using mounts in castles...
long bows are almost mandatory to fire from walls (short bows users cannot do much)
healing from walls is almost impossible
time to climb to walls over the door is far too long

BUT yes, they are beautiful.
