Is there a way to prevent climbing on walls? And how to make archers stay put?

[EmberStar]

I've been trying to build up my fort in my singleplayer game. I'm curious, is there a wall piece or construction trick that would prevent climbing up walls? I realize that NPCs don't do this, but I suppose I want my building to at least look authentic.

I'm also curious if there's a way to keep my thrall archers at their posts on the walls once I've gotten them built. Right now every NPC who notices a fight comes running, and then doesn't *quite* go back where they started from. Again, putting archers on the walls is more for looks and role-play than anything, but I'd still like to do so if there's a way.

There are wall crenelations you can craft that do spike damage and make people auto-drop from the wall when touched.

Our Archers always seem to get back to their locations on the wall. Including the Hyenas.

Also, if you happen to be using crenelated pieces, turn off god mode.

If you build your walls out of foundations, you can place T3 fences on the wall it self. They are also anti climb due to the small spikes along the bottom of the fence.

Yes, the bans on my walls are fences with fence foundations along the base of the wall. This was taken after my Archers had responded to a threat and were still returning to their positions on the wall.

Is this only with black ice, or the DLC T3 as well? Thanks for the tip though

For the OT: if person takes damage during climb, they will lose their grip and fall. Strategically placed archers should also be good in addition to the anti-climb walls.

Actually the DLC's, Black Ice and Reinforced Stone are all Tier 3. As for placing fences in bands on walls built of foundations, ant level fence will work. Only T3 will prevent climbing.
