Thats a lot of grapes. Thank you.

What you can do is plant half of that and get a full barrel every 2 harvests. The time it takes for the first harvest to turn into wine is longer than it takes for the grapes to regrow. Also, since it uses the average of the grape juice already in the barrel with the new grape juice, it doesn't take that much longer. However, if you need lots of wine, you might wanna go for a full barrel each harvest.

Most appreciated. Half a barrel might do me, but it's good to know the method you just mentioned.

Thanks.

Should you build the brickwall on the outside of the palisade or on the inside of the palisade? I didn't plan for building it on the inside if that's the case :S No space.

Why shouldn't you build a mine within your settlement? I'm planning a small settlement for my alt just for means of transporting goods from across the river with a little protection for my boats, would it be better to put my mine there?

Not sure about the walls thing, but mines are a security risk. Building one in a fortified settlement can result in someone building their own outside the settlement or using a cave to dig into your tunnel system and get in the base. You'll need walls there, too, if you want to be safe.

Brickwall outside. If palisade is outside and brickwall is inside then palisade may be bashed and used to secure battering ram (without having palibasher or own ram built beforehand there's no way to avoid raid).

Well, you can build it inside but you must remember that your settlement is only as protected as it's weakest spot. If your settlement is protected by brickwall and your minehole is protected by palisade then it means that your effective protection is just palisade (because of reasons stated by Jacob_Lee).

What UAC level is the minimum for killing a bear? I realize that one also needs "practice, practice, practice" as well as technique but after that what is a realistic number for UAC and for strength?

[Dihi]

so today my main was killed, found his corpse on top of where this hearth fire was supposed to be, so i guess i was summoned by someone.

How can anyone get inside my walls when there are no breachesl?...it's not on the edge of a cliff, so they can't wall jump hack, and i have no mine hole to get attacked trough there. Is this a new hack or smth?

Now my only other alt is trapped inside the walls he built, just great -_-

If it's too much then here's the most important thing:

If you're good and motherfucking brave, it takes about 180 UA. If you're not then 300 UA.
For melee probably like 300 or 350, I don't know for sure.

If you're patchoulliknowledge then you can pull it off with like 50 UA.

Damage output is sort of moot for the most part. Kill them in one shot when they're down to 200-250hp though or they'll go berserk and end you.

It's not so much about your stats but what combat skills you've purchased and how well you know how to use them. If you know what you're doing, you can kill a bear with 10 UA and 10 STR. (The lowest I've heard is around 40 UA, I think, and not sure of MC and str/agi.) Otherwise, more is better.

FYI, at 54, you should be able to kill a boar if you've purchased all the combat skills. I suggest carrying a sword and using chop or cleave to finish (or sting if you have a sword). Chasing boars sucks if you don't need to.

Was your heartfire outside? If yes then you were summoned by person from outside the wall and killed by ranged attacks

hearth is outside, 25 tiles from closest wall...

Thanks to Duregar. I had read the combat guide awhile ago but didn't recall it gave recommended stats for the bear. Guess I'll need to stay in my boat a bit longer. Problem is they keep running away before they become enraged, even if I break combat mode before slinging them an additional time.

too close

Ideally speaking, you also want the wall to cover land 50 tiles from areas you use so that people can't snipe at you over the wall

Your hearth fire should ALWAYS be behind walls and inside a house. This is in case you leave a theft/vandalism/battery/murder scent. I won't ask why you left one, but if you do and your hearth fire is outside you can be summoned when you're offline and shot to death from a distance. Assault and Trespassing scents do not allow someone to summon you, but they can still be used to track you down when you're out and about or to track your hearth fire. Also note people can spawn alts at your HF if they know your HS and the HF is outside of a house. It can be annoying, or even used to figure out where you are.

Consider twitch hunting

Twitch hunting

This deserves special mention because it saves a lot of headache and not everyone knows about it. When you've engaged combat with an animal on the shore from your boat, the animal will lunge at you fairly regularly. These little twitches are an action of sorts and seem to set off a short cooldown in the animal behaviour AI. If you fire right after the animal twitches, it won't run, no matter how much damage you do. This become important so you can avoid chasing boars and bear all over the country side, which is also dangerous if you run out of water at a bad time. Using this will save you a lot of time, and animals twitch fairly often so it doesn't take extra time compared to chasing them after they run.
