Bat Raiding

  I agree it really feels bad, just like an exploit... Bat shouldn't be able to land right next to a claimed square. Or give us the possibility to claim these corners, and give a little bit more claim amount for each castle tier to compensate. It is just hurting the game right now.

  Hi There!
  
  Thank you for making such a great game! I need help regarding an issue that could make the game unplayable for many people looking to protect their castle. For example I have 20+ doors on the outside part of the hill but someone with a bat form can easily skip all of them on a spot where I cannot build. I'll explain what exactly the issue is, send screenshots and how can easily be fixed.
  
  1. Bug: Bats can land in spots where I cannot buy those fields because of "locked by environment". Either forbid them to land or allow me to build on these fields. This is game breaking exploit.
  2. Stairs don't have roof which allows Toad form to jump on them from outside from spaces entered from bat form.
  3. In order for someone to skip all defenses of my castle all he need to do is damage 1 outside door, go Bat form and land right next to my heart and damage that wall manually, skipping 20+ doors.
  
  Please see these screenshots to better understand what I am saying, please consider

  "Exploit: Bat form can land on any triangle that can't be bought" (suggested by Nerzgul on 2022-06-30), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  Partial temporary solution: you can place explosives which block bats from landing.

  Until this is fixed, there is a quick workaround. Place TNT on all of those spots, even the minor bombs work

  This literally breaks the game, fix it soon.

  The community has found the competitive answer to this "exploit" with small explosives or by putting your heart and valuables on map edges (where bats can't land). The only reason people are so vocal about this is because they get taken advantage of without knowing this is possible and are bitter or are unwilling to take the steps necessary to properly defend themselves. This is in the same mechanic pool as "base blocking" but farther into and encouraging progression, as well as forcing you to consciously allocate your time to proper base defense as people level and have these tools become available. Frog and bat allow for creative exploration of people's bases in a pvp environment and offer a source of dynamic endgame content. Nerzgul, the question isn't when will this be fixed, but does it need to be, or even should it be

  Yes in fact TNT works well, I don't think this needs a fix anymore. It is just part of the meta/knowledge to have ^^

  This doesn't need a fix.. This is common knowledge now - Play around it

  This is what kept me away after trying pvp servers. the lame ''solution'' of explosives is not really a ''solution'' for bad game design, i found one plateau corner that you could walk fine there but could not place explosives.
  
  this is a serious exploit and needs fixing.
