Battering ram improvement

Post by Koru »

I didn't think about all advantages and disadvantages of my idea, but who cares :P.
Camping 24h around b ram makes it... boring. 8h is simply not enough, some ppl need to sleep sometimes ;). I was thinking about 24h of drying ram, but indestructible for 16h.

Wouldn't mind that.

Sometime ago I suggested that rams should be destructible only when dried, but the idea wasn't too popular. This seems like an interesting compromise though.

seems like there should be a way to tell how much time before it's destructible, other than that it seems alright i guess

Build a wall around your ram, and then you won't have to worry about it getting destroyed. The other guys will have to break your wall first.

How are they going to idol jump to it? Put a xroad at the corner of the wall and travel until they jump the wall?

Meant to mention in previous post:

I like the indestructible for a time idea, but not everyone is on the same time. It's the same risk of not having anyone logged in watching the village 24/7 except a ram is a lot cheaper than the losses faced by getting a village raided.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Time isn't a factor. You still have 24 hours to notice the ram before it becomes movable, and then all you need is:
