Feel free to change it. During w4, you had to start it on paved land.
Also, here's an interesting trick: build one right up against the northern/western corner of a palisade. As close as you can.
Now, once you've got it built, go down the ladder, then come back up. Because the hole always drops you on the west side, you'll get stuck in the palisade wall.
Granted, it's a great defense against intrusions (not sure if it'd work with multiple intruders coming out), but I suspect this is not intended.
I've been promoting this for months in "How Do I?" I'm glad someone else has figured it out and likes it.

I never tried going up the ladder when the gate was closed, so I wasn't sure what happened. I'll make sure to add this to my instructions over there.
