Nice structure. I'm guessing it took a while...? And how did you move the logs? Those effers are heavy >.<

it took like 6 hours lol.. the fort I'm working on now on the test server makes this look like a child's doll house.

Heres a sneak peak of it:

Looking nice - good to see more terraformers coming over to the test server, it looks far too untouched here!

hehe.

This started with just randomly building a circle moat. Thank matel for the actual design that worked out good, I watched this guy pick up the same log and set it down 50 times before he got it perfect. LMAO

Welp, i guess that means the test server will get wiped now

You can't rush perfection! I tried to lower the 1000 foot cliff but yeah, it just kept duplicating itself so it couldn't manually be fixed.

does structure building like this have any real game benefit or is it just fun to look at?

YAY! you made a fort!!! You could also play The Sims, then you could make whole houses

It's just fun to look at. There will be real buildings when they enable that feature but until then, we have to be creative. You won't be forced to build a log roof/cliff house in the full game.

surely ditches / mud walls etc will still have some tactical use to stop people approaching your town from certain directions etc?

It seems they are very useful to slow down attackers. You terraform your land defensively and the attacking tribes cannot terraform your land, so they have to negotiate slopes and such.

Until it's all finalized it's difficult to tell, but right now it seems good.
