Caves and Wells

[Wolfang]

You do realise that this would make walls utterly useless, and villages completely undefendable?

Well, yes, but then you should be able to build walls underground, defending your surface area.

All depends on how the implement it. Would you say the same if wells were less frequent?

Sounds interesting, but a possible security concern.

and thats what makes it even more interesting, dont you think ?

He's climbin' in yo buckets,
He's descendin' to yo mines,
Tryin'-a' mine 'em,
So ya need ta' hide ya tin, hide ya bronze,
Hide ya tin, hide ya bronze,
Hide ya tin, hide ya bronze,
And hide ya iron, 'cuz they minin' err'thin' out there.
You don't have ta' come, an' confess,
We rangin' for you,
We gon' fin' you,
We gon' fin' you,
So you can run an' tell that,
Run an' tell that,
Run an' tell that,
Hearthboy,
Hearth-hearth-hearthboy.

Just imagine if you could Dig UP from underground and get around walls, that would be quite devastating. It would have to be block able in some way though, perhaps some kind of 'Heavy Stone Slab' that you put in a tile like some kind of uber-pavement, it could use an entire Boulder. Keeping a giant farming area safe like this would be impractical but a modest size fortress would be feasible.

[Jackard]

you guys complaining about security realize you can wall off the area surrounding your ladder, right

[Potjeh]

You would basically have to make the same wall you have on surface on every single layer. Could be a lot of fun if it turns out there's like 50 layers.

You'd have to be pretty determined to dig down 50 layers just to climb up to the surface and raid them.

It seems hard now, but once the economy gets going the hardened leather cost will become virtually irrelevant. And mining will go really fast once people have 1000 strength and q160 stone axes again.
