Wall Destruction too Destructive

Post by TeckXKnight »

Splash damage keeps going forever. I broke 1 palisade segment and nearly 30 segments were lost in 1 direction. Even a small breach could easily wipe out an entire wall. Note that this palisade is only a day old so that may have played a role.

Low soak + high health + high splash damage = very miserable experience for early establishments.

This does sound more impactful to make up for how little resources it takes to make walls. Perhaps the splash damage could become specific to tools used? (Battering ram could have high splash, hands could have low, tools could have low-medium?)

So its going to start looking like a high level game of Age of Empires 3?

Will consider. Thanks.

Not mentioned: It only did massive destructions like that for newly built walls, the cascades get a lot smaller as soak goes up

Any chance we can have this as a toggle mechanic if it wasn't intended? I'd prefer replacing my wall with a brick one eventually rather than build multiple walls.
