can you drop dirt under them?


can bridges be built over the slope part of dirt walls?


can bridges be destroyed with catapults?

no


yes, but they have a max slope up/down, and a max tile. in theory you could make a dirtwall high enough that it is not possible to do that.


idk

No

Sort of, they have a max slope of 20 dirt that they can be built.


 


can bridges be destroyed with catapults?


Ammo will hit but it does not seem to damage the bridge.

ok, so if bridges cant be destroyed with catapults, would could build a 1 tile outter layer, around a dirt slope, high up, so then dirt couldn't be dropped against a dirt wall, so the enemy couldn't make a dirt ramp to get over the dirt wall.


 


they would have to climb up, and destroy the bridge first. or even if it wasn't in the air, and on the ground, destroy the bridge with lmauls before they could drop dirt to make a ramp.


 


 


now, how easily can a bridge be destroyed?

Depends on the bridge type, so far it seems that they are about the same strength as a house of the same material.

I verified for myself that you indeed cannot drop dirt under a bridge:


 


[22:08:05] The dirt would flow down into a structure. You are not allowed to drop dirt on structures.

 


However, I was able to start digging in the same spot:


 


[22:08:19] You start to dig.

 


Based on the observation about not being able to drop dirt, it seems this would have been irreversible (modulo destroying the bridge), so I quickly canceled:


 


[22:08:20] You stop digging.

 


Would that dig action have successfully completed?

Yes, according to the blurb of info left of game log-in.

 

  • Enabled DIG (and DREDGE) under bridges.

Haven't tested, but that would seem to indicate it would work.

I can confirm you can dig under bridges, but sadly you can't drop dirt under it as I painfully realized.

Thanks for confirming. That does indeed sound like a very painful lesson. :\
