    You can carry a stack of 30 in your hands... *Nudge, Nudge*
     
  4. boulders can 1 or 2 hit a good fort whereas using stone pebbles would take forever

    I hate this glitch. Boulders are meant for catapult ammo and dropping on people's heads. (and maybe traps). It stops me from using it for it's purpose. I can't drop it on someones head when I am worried someone will use it to smash our door.

    Intended feature, not a glitch.

    I have this discussion many times, and no, it's not broken.

    People should try to grab the boulder before it breaks the door. ;)

    And by then, they have probbably destroyed 50 or 100 stone worth of doors, with something worth 35 stone. Not to mention you get 30 stone from the tent, so you only have to spend like 2 seconds mining to get it.

    It is broken though. You can put it in your inventory and negate the jump and speed penalty, and it is protected from all slashes. There is also litterally nothing you can do to stop this tactic, building high up doors only stops knights (and sometimes not even those). There is nothing to stop someone from boulder drilling all the way into your flag room, because you need doors to be able to cap the flag.

    Let's look at the keg. When you wear it, you get a speed penalty. you can't use your sword with it (if it weren't for glitch, but let's say that didn't exsist.) When someone comes to attack you, they will damage your keg. If you make it to the enemy tower, you may just blow it up in front of the tower. But if the enemy is good builders, they can stop it. They can build on bedrock, and make thick towers, or make sections, so that you won't just get past the tower with 1 keg.

    That is a balanced mechanic. This is not.

    Please read the thread called "nerf boulder drilling" for all my arguments pertaining to this.

    I'm not filling this thread with an argument.
