We'll finally have some new members for the tribe!

Eat two love berries.
Invite Beatrix Purnima into the palisade at F7, assuring her that the offspring will be safer there than out in the open.

Join Beatrix in researching child care.

((Not sure a palisade made of thorns would be the most comfortable place. Also, can players mate and work on the same turn?))

[Maegil]

((No, it takes the full turn. And the palisade is to protect from predators, not to feel comfortable. I'd rather not have the eggs in the open to be eaten by an Yider or stolen by a monkey.))

[S34N1C]

((Very well. Also, don't forget, specify which tile you're on))

Enter the palisade on F7 with Asker and lay our eggs inside. Research child care.

[Supernerd]

The palisade is not actually a thing you can enter. Not that it would be a good idea to do so even if you could.

[Maegil]

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What good is it then, something to look at? Art?
A palisade is a defensive structure - good guys, livestock, valuables get inside, bad guys and predators outside have trouble getting in to play havoc with whatever is inside... or it should be. What can you possibly mean with us not being able to enter our own palisade?

[Supernerd]

Its a spiky wall. That is what a palisade is. For some reason I had the inclination to draw a picture of one. The one in this picture is made of wood and bloody thorns or something.

Now, try to picture yourself getting inside it.

(Reply #50 in this thread actually mentioned that you can build several near eachother to ward off predators.)

[Maegil]

It's a spiky wall enclosing an area, with a way to get in and out and - I'll grant this much- maybe a way to close it down, or it's useless as anything other than decoration - and according to the description, not even the nice kind of decoration.
Either that, or you failed to tell us that it was necessarily in a straight line, we needed at least three of them, and/or we have yet to research passageways.

[Supernerd]

Looks like the edit to my last post came mere seconds before yours.

[Maegil]

...That's not a palisade, it's a section of wall. Granted, with several of those we can make a palisade, but that on itself is not one.

These are palisades:

I have decided that I don't want to punish intelligent thought, so I am going to grant you a Pyrrhic Victory. The palisade now encircles a very small area and can be entered.

[Maegil]

It's not a pyrrhic victory, to be frank this is what I thought we would be getting in the first place:

(It took me a while to find the right photo)

[S34N1C]

Man, it would be a long and painful chore to make one of those out of briars.

[Maegil]

That one appears to be encircled twice. But yes, it would be a small one for three briars.

[Supernerd]

It's not a pyrrhic victory,

Go ahead and tell me that again in about five or so turns.
