Where to Build a Wall [Closed]

[Milky Joe]

I thought that the wall was to protect port silver... If option 1 or 3 is chosen then we are basically condemning port silver.
And the northern most section of wall 3 ( across the river) seems totally pointless if the corruption can't spread through water as all it does is run parallel to river...

 

[Axex]

If we're voting for option three, can't we cannibalize Port Silver itself for materials, since we're just abandoning it anyway, it has multiple castles/palaces, and plenty of resources. I also vote for sealing off the upper district first, and holding there until the outer wall can be completed, which could take a long, long time.

Azerport will take refugees

 

[Milky Joe]

Well it can stretch prreeeeetty far.

We'll if it could jump over that big river then what about those two smaller ones?

If corruption is delayed by water, let's build barricades on the other side of the river - makes it harder to advance and easier to defend.

And line up warships!! I really want to see some Naval stuff!!!

If people have other wall layouts they would like to suggest - draw them, and if they're looked at and 'good' they might get added to the option set.

Suggestion: Destroy the harbour bridge for any of the walls.

You'd have to be a master camouflage painter. Like Peta in the Hunger Games good

I was trying to find an image of a poorly painted TNT object.... Then I realized halfway through that my search terms sounded quite... suspicious.

Build the wall on the far side of any rivers to make it harder to bypass.
Destroy the landbridge to the cathedral using explosives
Section off the upper district until the blue wall is finished

And the Inn at spawn. That is close

*ahem*

So the Upper District is incredibly defensible. Against a traditional army. The instant you factor in those corruption tendrils, the instant it becomes exponentially harder to hold through these means. Hell, the corruption might very well get to the Upper District first. Have you guys seen where the tendrils are? Factor in that it's not really set up for a siege, that you can't really have reliable communication in and out if you block the Upper District off like that, and there is absolutely no strategic or tactical value to holding the Upper District in the manner that you all are suggesting. Even considering Silverpeak and the Silver Serpent. Hospitals can be moved. Silverpeak is just a building. Holding both of these is going to be... incredibly difficult.

I'll be taking another look at the map and seeing if I can't make my own suggestion, but I would wager that 1 or 3 is going to be our best bet.

 

[Bean/Benijim]

Wall 3! Then Port Silver can be turned into ruins!

 

[BarbarianGaming]

Corruption is basically a disease and if a disease is in PS, you quarentine PS.

 

[Helios]

The wall... Somehow reminds me of the one from 'Killzone Shadowfall'

 

[Moochick]

By this I mean I want 1 and 2. Looking at it, it would barely be more than 3, and assuming 2 is up quickly, makes 1 even safer to put up.
All of you choosing three have no pride! We can't let the corruption have this victory over us!

 

[Jaypate]

Wouldn't option 1 in a sense be abandoning Port Silver too?

And what about the citizens of Port Silver? Would they initially become refugees to other towns?
