How to protect ones village

[Dataslycer]

Need to add wall your mine to security.

Now I just read this thread and I'm thinking about the problems with keys, would it be too much to suggest that gates required passwords? You have to type it in each time you want to get through and it only lets you through (and anything attached to you, like a cart/ox/etc). Its not unrealistic, in real life really secure city gates had gate keepers who decided whether to let people in, what is unrealistic is expecting anyone to play the gate keeper in a game such as this.

More fun that "Oh, shit. I died and lost our villages keys... Well there goes -everything-."

I actually really like that idea scilly. I really can't think of a downside to that suggestion.

Suggested before. Some kind of lever system might also work.

Only if my palisade can hold lava behind it.

A moat just isn't enough for you?

Defensive strategy: beg, borrow, steal or humiliate yourself to get the 10 wrought you need for a brick wall, and then make a large area walled off, no gates, and then make the wall extend 10 tiles away from the first wall, and make another ring. Repeat 10ish times, and for the last one, add a gate and put a crossroad there. Once you do that, NO ONE will even think about breaking them down, unless you murder around 10 people or so.
