4. Unable to break down a constructedWall

Unable to break down a constructedWall


  • I'm trying to enter an abandoned room. It is completely sealed off by constructed walls and ramparts build on top of constructedWalls. Attacking the constructedWall does not result in breaking it down. 

    Checks done:

    • Attack wall for 2 hours: did not drop in health
    • Checked result of attack: 0 (so OK)
    • Checked the .hit variable of the wall, stays at the exact same number

    An abandoned room should have wall that can be broken down with 1 attack, right?

    You are attacking correctly:

    Although you're currently hitting the rampart which is over the wall. As soon as the rampart is dead you can destroy the constructed wall.

     


  • Good thing is that I'm in the room now.

    I do want to note that I attacked the wall beside the rampart as well with the same effect. Wall stayed there and did not get destroyed.

    That is correct, even though you targeted the wall the rampart absorbs the famage. You can see it as a shield protecting the structure underneath it.

     

    You can also use ramparts to defend your structures this way
