How to Start a Village(Without getting killed)

it's just as easy to bubble a ram with it as an unsealed post

Hehe, so hypothetically, if this were to happen, would there be anyway to stop their entrance into your claim?

Yes, by having your ram build beforehand and bashing into that bubble to destroy enemy's ram. Then just rebuild destroyed wall.

Can't you just put signposts around the minehole. Can go down it, but not up. Have to hearth/village teleport to get out. No wall needed really.

In a village that is.

You can simply signpost it off, yes. The issue with that is it requires you have total trust in each and every of your village members, which can be hard to have. Trust is a powerful tool, you shouldn't depend on trust when it comes to security in large numbers.

Trust is a powerful tool but deceit is a powerful weapon.
