Metal spikes or Large stone walls?
Hi, im playing a server, which has a level cap at 44, so the engram points are limited. I plan to spend some engram point on either metal spike(11 points, I already have the wooden spikes) or large stone wall(10 points).

My base:
one area is 3*5 foundations and one area is 5*10 foundations. two areas are connected.
I dont plan to have a huge base, because that will bother my neighbor, a big tribe. But i might build it very high.

The large stone wall is 18,000 hp. A single stone wall is 10,000 hp, which takes 4 grenades to destroy. Therefore, I assume 8 grenades will destroy a large stone wall. Also, I have the stone double door, which has 8000 hp, so the raiders can always go for the door instead of the walls.

The metal spike takes 3 grenade to destroy. But i can build a bunch of them. Im thinking about 10 rows of metal pikes or more, as long as inside of my x plant turret range.

Im thinking the metal spikes is a better option. what do you think? thx for any advice.

In your situation I'd go for the spikes. You already have the weak point being the door and you can spam the spikes more effectively to slow down tames or to make them waste more grenades on them.

yeah. i plan to build some metal spikes in front of my doors too, but leave some space to walk by. that will slow down the raiders. also. i plan to build my base 12 walls high, and keep the most value stuff on the highest level. the lvl cap and x plant turrets will make raiders unable to raid from the top.
