Seems legit, nothing to see hear. 

I thought sky ladders are against the rules, so anything on them wouldn't even be the issue to discuss.

I think basically we want a dev to say if this is within the boundaries of fair play.
Not here to whine about mean enemy's abusing, just want to know where the border between tactics and exploiting is, so we can adjust battle tactics to it.

I always thought sky ladders were illegal, that they had to be touching something on both ends, is that not the case?

Im not 100% sure on that anymore, so a devs confirmation on the rules would very much be appreciated.

Except none of those ladders are skyladders.

They all touch the ground at some point. Sky ladders are Ladders built on top of OTHER ladders, not ladders just really high up.

Though to the second point, I believe that the shields would constitute "sky laddering" as they are material built on top of another material(minus siege towers)

Its just as lame as all other uses of ladders in open field battles, including laying them down on the floor too block horses and flags imo.

Laying down is realistic (aside from the fact that in real battles they used other stuff then ladders for it)
Skyladders with siegeshields on them defies gravity, so once again i just want to know the rules on this. If skyladdering is allowed i will start using it in my own battles (you simply get shot to pieces if your enemy does this and you don't) if its not allowed i will start paying attention and report future cases of abuse. Currently its a grey area which sucks.

Lack of clean and unambiguous rules for Strat again.
