why are half walls the same cost to upgrade as regular walls?

[upbeat dove]

Is there a reason?

[vital locust]

Probably talk to @junior roost about that maybe add to qol list

[junior roost]

Just the same and how it always has been as far as i am aware, it's never been adjusted or changed on PC either, the upkeep and costs are the same

[vital locust]

Kinda stupid you should put that on list

You would think they would change it since it’s half the size Ik your obsessed with copying everything on pc but this a good change

[junior roost]

It's the same level of durability so it makes sense because if it was cheaper everyone would spam half walls around bases and they would become double the raid costs

[vital locust]

Huh

[exotic epoch]

If a base is made out of only half walls that each have the durability of a full wall then you can't splash as many walls but still costs the same

Meaning if you were to try and open up a half wall base as much as a full wall base it would cost double

[tropic charm]

huh always wondered that, makes alot of sense now!

So thats why the circle base i built costs 1k hqm 40k metal and stone

[upbeat dove]

True but it still makes no sense tho. Can’t they just make it so that half walls that are on top of eachother can’t have other stacked half walls next to eachother?

If that makes sense

[junior roost]

i mean that would just restrict builds which makes less sense really, it makes more sense the way it is, halving costs for the same durability would just make tanky bases, the way it currently is makes sense for balance

Builds are taxed based on number of placements, which is why currently nobody spam builds a half wall base because the upkeep would be double, which is why halving it would make it extremely unbalanced

[vital locust]

Just need halfhight wall durability in situations

Nerf

[junior roost]

Hmm that may lead to huge changes to certain builds though

i dunno, i feel like this will be very complicated, i understand the reasoning, but it's a big change to building as a whole

[frail zealot]

reducing the cost would mean people build their entire bases out of half walls

it's a minimal stability reduction with infinitely less splash

it being the same cost is 100% intended and should remain as such

[vital locust]

Too complicated for me idk

[agile oracle]

if it cost half to upgrade and upkeep, it would still be same to add 2 halves to make a normal wall, theres no way to abuse it 💀

[junior roost]

yes there is because a half wall is the same dura as a normal wall, meaning it would be more difficult and expensive to get through..

[exotic epoch]

You can't splash as many walls if an entire base is made out of half walls

[agile oracle]

ok, i'll shut up now 🤣.
