You can always fill the tile next to and below it up with soil until it goes away.

That sounds fake to me, but I might be misremembering. Will test

stop thinking about the obvious logical consequences of their shit-on-the-wall ideas, you’re embarassing them!

Not being a coder or game developer myself, it is fascinating to see all of the implementations that have been necessary to facilitate pushing forward with the primary development direction toward object-controlled-objects.

Need to clarify if world reset happens this year or not. Players can't spend a lot of valuable time on a world that could die next month. Devs you should inform us about that.

Pretty sure it's not actually that easy, btw can you build it next to water?

As far as I'm aware, it should be, but if you have some counter-example, please let me know.

It follows the general rules of landscaping otherwise, so as usual you can't raise or lower tiles right next to water.

Totally cool update! Surprised by it

Though yes, creating cliffs will be meta in building village defence since raiders will need to dump ton of soil (leaving vandal scents btw) to push the ram forward

I've run into a trouble at a tile where two cliffs are getting connected, character can not fill that nod (marked with X)

I'd at least expect there to be more work involved in building said cliffs than in removing them, and to some extent, building earthen ramps as defense isn't entirely un-larpy. Will have to see exactly how it turns out, I guess, but still.

In what way can you not fill it, more exactly?
