Stormwind was likewise a city built within a natural valley, with only one main gate along the road. Built against the mountainside, the gate was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also had a flaw: it limited the number of defensive cannons.
The walls at Stormwind's main gate had to accommodate not only defending troops, but also cannons and other defensive installations, severely limiting the number of defensive cannons.
