Ok, so last night while waging a mighty siege against the Ring of Fire-held Stonemist Castle, spending about an hour trebucheing a single section of fortified of wall, we found that once the wall fell, we could not breach to the inner courtyard area due to the stairs that ran along the inside of the wall blocked the gap that was created by the destroyed wall.
This made a lot of people, in particular the trebuchet operators, rather annoyed, and we dubbed this the ‘troll wall’.

I took some screenshots and arranged them below. On the last image showing the map, the red circle is the section of wall.
Stonemist here had the Fortified Walls upgrade.

Ignore where all of the player icons are going, they are going in another wall section we knocked down, which was fine.

The stairs should be knocked down aswel so it cant be usable to the enemy and you’ll be able to get in.

These stairs aren’t used for access to the top of the wall, they aren’t actually part of the wall so don’t get knocked down with it. This stairs/ramp section is behind the wall and is used to get to the ‘upper’ section of the courtyard area, nothing to do with the walls themselves. See the 1st part of the image.
