Ladders (and every other construction really) added to the 'engineering' and 'city under siege' feel of the game mode, but as also unbalancing most maps perhaps add them but with a max limit? I personally miss defenders running around and trying to block attackers off with construction materials while attackers hack their way through them, and fierce fights setting off spontaneously in random often elevated parts of the castle because of these whole ramparts made of multiple ladders, without the x stack putting up two ladders in a weak point and claiming the castle within the first minute. I know even a few ladders would probably unbalance most current maps, but I still can't help missing them.
