New Siege Implementation: Siege Claims

[shubla]

but changing walls or adding new are kinda groundbreaking for basebuilding.

Yeah, except the assumption that brick walls would be permanently useless was perhaps one you were bold to make.

The fact you can say this with a straight face and be completely serious baffles me. Are we really supposed to build/play this game around the idea that you can/will make drastic changes to a core mechanic at any time and we should be able to adapt?

Game is in alpha stage and things change all the time. Core mechanics too.
If devs couldn't do any major changes to the game, except in world resets. That would slow down development of the game quite massively. (or result in way too frequent resets)

So what, day 1 we should all have known you were going to change siege like this?

>there are two walls
>one is more expensive than the other and gives a more sturdy appearance
>i wonder if it's ever going to be relevant to have that one...

So just because it has a 'sturdy appearance'? Purely aesthetic reasoning? Then am I to assume that changes like this should start happening to other sectors of the game as well?

Assuming that brick walls were intended to be useless is -- pardon my French -- pretty dumb.

Then why is it that bwalls have been useless for the majority of the time this game has been around?

Why is this in C&I and not Announcements?

Might get missed ...

Brick walls had a significant use case in Legacy, which represents quite a bit of the game's life.

Cost, bruh. Brick walls cost a lot more.

Because shubla and ysh ruined the fun yet again!!

You can certainly expect that things more expensive and sturdier aren't intended to have no use, and I can't see how you with an equally straight face can argue against that. Do you think it is by design that brick walls are more expensive yet useless?

You can certainly expect that they should, but when several years of experience tells you otherwise I don't see why it remains a reasonable expectation for you to change it mid world

legacy is irrelevant

[shubla]

What kind of design does your village have if you cannot build a single brickwall around it?

My arbitrary time frame dictates the relevancy of previous game mechanics!
