Wall decay?

Postby poligami » Sun Aug 28, 2011 6:41 pm

Hi, I just got my palisade key stolen so I'm currently locked into my village. Anyway I am to stubborn to give up on this village, so I'm planning to wait until the wall decays and creates a hole. Problem is I have no Idea of how long this will take. All walls are on paved ground but most of it isn't claimed, so how long will it approximately take for the wall to crumble?

Also other ideas on how to get out? I don't like the idea of starting over, I always put in maximum of care of my characters. :P

if you have enough to make a ram (and I think 36 str to use it) that is a good way to get free, also decay depends on how much traffic is the the area , if it is a high traffic area (map keeps getting loaded are reloaded) it could be in less then a month. also where it hits is random, I have seen them fall once in about a week ans a half but not likely to happen.

Unfortunately I cannot make a ram, will my character create traffic by himself? And is there any way I can speed up this process?

oh ya log in walk around a bit the area will load up and decay will be put in its place, only way I can think you can speed it up is if you tell someone where you are and ask them to make a ram and free you, they might also "free you" of some or your items/life but that is a risk you need to ask if it is worth taking.

Okay I think I understand, will try logging in and out a couple of times and see if there is any visible change. Since I got all the crops that I need and a constant supply of curiosities I think I manage for a while. I will put my time into rising the quality of my crops. Thanks for the help M so ;)

I believe that palisades won't decay if they're built on paved surfaces and in claims. In my experience they only decay when unclaimed.

Do you know where in the world you are? Depending on location I may be able to help.

Walls and other items always decay no matter what they are built on. Buildings meant to be on paved ground will decay at a much higher rate (3x?) if not on paved ground. The only way to stop buildings from decaying is to make sure all the tiles the building is on are claimed.

it will not work all at once, try 3 times a day, it will fall sooner or latter.

Decay ticks occur no matter the amount of traffic in an area. At least, nobody of any reputation around here has stated this that I recall. (Missed this earlier or would have corrected it then.)
