Which construction challenge increases when a Roman siege ramp reaches a city wall's height?

💡 Explanation

Crew vulnerability rises because the increased height reduces protection, leading to easier targeting; therefore, defending forces gain a better line of sight for attacks, rather than structural instability increasing during construction.
