I voted No just to annoy people who want them removed, because I couldn't actually care less whether there are ladders or not. Though without ladders it's going to make it so much easier for me to trample and slash archers in the face.

it would be nice to remove ladders for 2-4 days so we can see what will happen...

I'm cav mainly, and sometimes infantry and I basically never go on ladders, I voted "no" to keep them in the battle.  I think they server a valuable purpose, and if you're an archer or crossbow, why wouldn't you want to get up on some sort of a structure?

I think the bigger issue isn't the ladders, it's always playing battle maps that have buildings in them.

So the issue isn't bankrobbers, but having banks?

I'm starting to feel like the roofcamping isn't as bad in NA. Judging from my playtime, which is mostly on EU 1. Every round has an archer roof. They have a too well protected position and drag out matches.

As people have been saying on this thread, removing all ladders will allow cavalry to go on the rampage with nothing to counter them on many maps. It used to be the case that you were not allowed to break ladders your side had placed as that constituted glitching. So either enforce that rule or else remove ladders from the game but re-draw the maps so that cav friendly maps have ladders already to a few buildings.

1)  No no no ... I'm not saying that, I'm saying it's obvious why ranged units would get off the ground away from infantry and cavalry, and also get a better view and shots of the battlefield.  I don't think we should take away that obvious and natural choice for ranged units.  I'm saying if we want to play maps without people on buildings, play some maps that don't all have buildings and structures on it.  Make your ranged use terrain instead of buildings once in a while to mix it up.

2) I don't think roofcamping is as bad as people say it is, at least not in the NA-CRPG1 battle server.  You still have a handful of people on roofs every round, but I never see it being so bad that you can't get them down if the rest of their team is dead.

Agreed that for some maps there's a need for some ladders not give cavalry a too good time. But generally ranged just need to shoot horses more. Most horses go down in just a few arrows/bolts/throwing-whatevers if people can be arsed to shoot at them, and since two-handed swords at the moment outreach lances when thrusting, and people can carry a 1wpf pike or bamboo spear to deter horses, it's not a that big deal.
