Is it possible to build a double brickwall?

[ironvamp]

Like say I have a brick wall and I want another brick wall for extra safety, is that possible or not?

Let me clarify, say I have a brickwall. I want to place another brickwall directly behind it, would it be possible to do that? Like when people put a palisade and a brickwall together.

Of course, why wouldn't it be?

Don't do this, leave one tile between them. When a brickwall gets damaged and does it's 'cascade' it' does damage to any brickwall in any cardinal direction from the original one damaged/broken.

Meaning it offers no additional protection.

Thanks for that tip DOG, I didn't know that one.

Holy crap you just saved me so much work tyVM!

In honesty 15 tiles or 50 tiles should be better than 1 tiles. With 15 tiles, it will take a second ram to penetrate in case they somehow broke through the first. 50 tiles is so that you are not in view of a sniper as the game only allows you to see a maximum distant of 50 tiles.

Yep, I don't see any additional value for a second wall 1 tile apart either. The same ram that destroys the first wall will destroy the second one too. Do what Patch is saying and you are way better off.

15? Can't a ram go 25?

My point in general was for someone who wanted that what I assume is 'double the time to get through', to shoot the intruders or what have you.

It will take you 1,120 extra bricks for 14 extra tile distance 1,920 for 24 extra, and 3,920 for 49 extra but in exchange you make your village much less vulnerable to ram, assuming you patrol it, the last one renders you virtually unsnipable unless they penetrated the first wall. It also renders some siege method such as strongboxed rams much less potent.

It seems like 15 for me, DoG, at least for the rams we used.

[DatOneGuy]

I've used the 50 forever, never saw the point in the 'just past a ram' method.

However, I could see how someone might find it attractive.
