Personal/Village Modifications

[SinizterMoFo]

There needs to be a system to allow for changing or modifying your Personal Claim/Village Property. Currently the only tool that you can use for the removal of Palisade Walls or Buildings is the Wrecking Ball. There are many issues with the wrecking ball. Yes after waiting a totally unreasonable amount of time for it to dry, You can take down 1 building before you are forced to move it and wait another unreasonable time before you can use it again. But if you need to remove a large section of a palisade wall, this is a dangerous, long and tedious process.

With the creation and implementation of the Catapults and battering rams, no one uses Wrecking balls to invade. It takes way to long to become a useful tool to invade someone with a wrecking ball. The only thing people use the wrecking ball for anymore is the changing of their Personal Property/Village Claims. The Wrecking ball is great for tearing down a single structure once it dries. But the 24 hour waiting period is a little taxing. On a Palisade wall however, there is no longer a tool available to tear down any meaningful amount of a palisade wall and rebuild it. So one is Forced to be vulnerable to attack from others, theft and no longer has any safety.

Please make the Wrecking Ball a useful tool for palisade wall destruction and change, or give me something that does not force me to be vulnerable for weeks and months, if I decide to expand. You have taken away my ability to Change/Expand/Modify my Personal Property with a sledge hammer, so give me something that works. The sad thing is the sledge hammer has always been a better way to destroy/modify/change a palisade wall then the wrecking ball. At least with a sledge hammer, I could take out the wall in one swoop (even if it took a ton of water/Energy and food) but the wrecking ball is a serious time consumer. It can take weeks to destroy a 40 - 60 section wall. The continued drying time for each move makes the Wrecking ball Useless.

Perhaps changing the Wrecking Ball from an attack item that is not used, to a helpful tool would be a simple solution. If you made the Wrecking Ball only useable by the Person/Village that made it for changes/modifications/Destruction of their Claimed Property and got rid of the excessive drying time the Wrecking Ball could become a very useful tool again.

Here is what I propose for the Wrecking Ball:
1. Make it a tool, not a weapon.
2. Give it an Initial Drying time of 1 Game Day before it can be used.
3. Give it Wear Like anything else.
4. Remove the Moving and Re Set Up Dry time.
5. Do not allow it to work as a tool to invade others.

Either that or give me the ability to change/modify my personal property like I used to be able to without forcing me to be exposed to every thief/attacker out in the game. Seems a little ridiculous that I can not change or redo my palisade wall now that I have finally gotten that points necessary for claiming all the space I need and the new things you are putting into the game.

Please give me a way to change/modify my property that does not put me in jeopardy for weeks and possibly months. I need a system that allows me to freely change my buildings and my palisade wall as I expand and grow and develop and new things are added to the game.

Thank You,

Build the outer wall before taking down the inner one. Even ignoring the rest of your post, you're always running a risk if you don't, even if it's only for a few hours. Kind of confused by the rest. Wrecking balls were added after battering rams were already in the game. They're not intended to be used for raiding, that's why they have the "unreasonable" drying time.

I agree that a faster way to remove walls on your claims would be nice, but that seems like a rather long winded way of suggesting that. Something that must also be taken into account is that any way of tearing down walls quickly makes inside jobs by spies much more feasible.

That.
