Legacy talk:Palisade

Gates nitpick

Just nitpicking, but "You can actually make two gates with one initial corner-post." is kinda giving the wrong idea. As there is no limit to the amount of gates you can built while using only one initial corner-post. (and technically ... you can get 3 gate on that initial corner-post itself. If you would like to.) (A animated gif might be useful here ... thinking about it.) --MvGulik 12:09, 26 July 2011 (CDT)

Trying to explain it using words is silly. If planned right, one can build many inner gates with just the one initial corner-post but one can't have outer gates to the same section without building a battering ram or a second corner post. Such a palisade should be planned like a web. Another thing to note is that a simple palisade might make you look simple and worthless but could make you more safe. Here is a picture since I like drawing. Red points are important places to build corner-posts and the red circle indicates the single initial corner-post. Red and blue show possible sections and green shows the impossible (I think). Dark gray lines are sections to build after the palisade drawn with white is built. --Deadguy60 04:10, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

I have the skill yeomanry enabled but the roundpole fence is the only option for a fence. I play in world 6. How do build a palisade?Trepach 06:22, 26 February 2012 (EST)

1) Apart from the Required skills. To be able to build something you also need to have discovered all the required objects. For a palisade that would be 'Block of Wood', 'Leather', 'Bone Glue', 'Rope'.

2) You seems to have a HnH forum account, but why you ask such a basic question at the wiki beats me. (Although that general aspect of the game might need some additional wiki work ... but that's a different subject.)

Not sure what to make of this. Definitively needs to be rewritten.
@Deadguy60: Try putting some more effort in being clear. Or use the talk page is you like others to check your text. --MvGulik 20:31, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

I once believed that you could not shoot through a palisade but maybe I was thinking about how it would be like in Dwarf Fortress. The function of a wall is merely to put more distance between you and a potential attacker and nothing more. And the thing about being close to the wall was just something said in the How do I? forum. I will always ask the forums for a somewhat intelligent answer before editing the wiki with an answer. --Deadguy60 20:49, 21 April 2012 (EDT)
