Castle Building

[Teh_Az]

Anyone here got any ideas on how to build a castle or a fort with the game as it is? I've seen a russian village protect their village by creating an artificial bottle neck with the use of palisades, effectively forcing large numbers of invaders to break formation.

Basically, if you create a palisade around your property, you have a respectable fort.

Any other mechanisms, such as moats, firing platforms, mounds, etc. only would come into play if we really thought that the attackers would actually attack a well defended fort while the defenders were on-line. They would probably also need some new combat mechanisms to take advantage of them such as archery from cover.
