Posts: 64You don’t need 5 layers of 2x walls if you are going to use tribe or personal gates. You don’t have to use dragon glass on anything besides the gates at the moment. There’s ~100k difference between standard gate and wall right now.
Let’s talk about it.
Hotel, Tea, MM, Ryn, do you all upgrade your gates in those fancy fortresses?

Posts: 119It depends on what you can afford. In the best case the grey blocks are stone walls and the yellow ones are tribe doors.

Posts: 64Ok, in your scenario there is no point to attack gates in the first place, as you can attack only two level of walls at once, that makes sense.

Posts: 64But even with that construction if you DO want to start upgrading, there seems to be a reason to use dragon stuff only starting from your gates. Or am I missing something?

Posts: 119If you have a fortress the ultimate layout of which is the one I drawn here as an example, and you have tribe doors in the yellow tiles, and stone walls in the grey tiles, then I think that the stone walls are the weak point for any number of attackers.
I don’t know the relative value of scales and stone; that value would help understand when you should stop building outer layers and start reinforcing the inner ones — supposing you have enough space.
A point in favor of reinforcing rather than layering is that you will repair a larger portion of your defenses per repair kit use.
A point in favor of having a huge external layer is privacy.

Posts: 94Huh. Wait what. A dragon scale increases the max durability of a wall permanently? I thought it was like a boost of hp that can go over its max hp, but it can’t be repaired.
Yeah, dragon scales give a permanent 25k boost to max hp, + 100 for each level of construction skill you have.
