Some observations:

* the differences in resource cost between a palisade and a brick wall are huge
* right now it is close to impossible to take over or free a palisade defended localized resource (or any other spot with a palisade), and way to easy to make it the fortress it is today
* defenders have little to none ingame mechanic to defend bases other than with walls so when the walls fall, its basically game over (would be way more balanced with traps, pits, archery towers, boiling oil, tamed wild beasts helping in defense, etc etc)
* shields should not be the static 60k they are now, no matter the size and contents of the claim...(meaning someone claiming a localized resource with just a palisade should not have the same 60k shield as a 10 -player village with tons of houses and other structures in it)

We should just implement it so stuff that has taken dmg is easier to break.
And palisade would decay naturally.
If you let your palisade decay under 50% health, it can be teared down using hands.
This way it also would be easier to remove abandoned places. If you dont like them being at your backyard.

That is exactly what I was saying. Remove decay protection from Palisades so that it becomes more convenient to make Brick Walls. Palisades continue their present function, claimed palisades (abandoned ones) will still decay naturally, and claimed-active ones require effort and materials to maintain.

I think ozzy has a reasonable idea here, but it should wait until the claim is expired and should go down with the decay. If the claim is truly abandoned, then why should it take much effort to tear into it?

A reasonable mid-way point, agreed.

Yeah, that definitely needs to be fixed. Authority goes away FAR too slowly for how easy it is to restore.
