Which vulnerability increases when siege ramps contact fortification walls?

💡 Explanation

The close proximity enables easier breaching because the confined space severely limits defenders' maneuvering and counterattack options due to crowding at the top during engagements, rather than obscured visibility or poor soil cohesion which have alternative mitigating strategies.
