@@exiteternium there's always one who has to make such a comment, lol. But there are plenty of videos on base defences. This isn't one of them. I'm showing my builds for inspiration. Defences are easily added, based on preferences.

@@hellkat71 i'm just commenting my troll PTSD after making a pretty decent starter base.. kill eikthyr, and BOOM ground shakes half of base destroyed, along with my chests.. and with the updates trolls are now a HUGE threat and pain.. i miss the OG parry with no damage.

@exiteternium I still remember my first troll encounter like it was yesterday! Apparently, they are WAY worse in VR 🤣 I don't think I'm brave enough to try that, lol. I've lost a chunk of a base to a troll raid, and it wasn't fun, but funnily enough, it's only happened to me once. The rest of the time, I've managed to run the trolls around until the raid is over, then either kill them or lead them away from my base and shake them loose to roam elsewhere.

@@hellkat71 i got 3 raids in a few hours of playing.. i ended up making a trench, and a terrain wall that is big enough for me to squeek by, but too small for trolls. when they game released in Early Access, the plains biome (with the LOX, and wheat} was last biome back then you could parry trolls with good timing with a shield or weapon, and you'd take no damage performing a parry, they've added more mechanics and biomes now, and the game is completely different from what it was, even stamina drains a metric F ton faster now. if you had 100 Stamina before, you could run from on side of an island to the other. now you're lucky to make it 60 meters unless you have eikthyr buff. basically they followed the hardcore crowd like 7 days did, instead of the casual gamer, and alienated a decent player base in the process. IMO the EA version was the most fun. trolls where still a threat, but it was like you where viking of legend fighting a Jotunn

@fietsbel1234 thank you!

@Sky_Aminos oooh!!! Thanks for the idea!! That might have to be my next project, lol. I'm currently finishing a lighthouse and have plans for a farm, but a hub for the grausten portals would be a fun challenge!

If you mean around the path at the bottom, I've yet to finish landscaping. If you mean the balcony areas, then those are already fairly high. I didn't really want to put a black trim on those, as it's already got a lot of black, and I didn't use the decorative ashwood pieces like I did in the windows because I didn't want the view to be obscured by too much trim. I dunno. I'll probably play around with it at a later date when I can look at it with fresh eyes

@theassassin225 Thank you! But it's average compared with some builds I've seen. Where in the world are you located? I'm in an Oceania group that has both a build server and a progression server that has just started a new season. We have room for more people if you're looking for Valheim buddies.

@hellkat71 I think that won't work, since I'm from Europe, but I thank you for the invitation 😊 You and your videos are great, keep going please

@theassassin225 distance causes lag in the vicinity of others, but that doesn't matter in a build server, so there's that option if you wish, but no pressure. I'll do my best to keep up the videos. I love to build, but I also love the progression of the game, so I try to spend time doing both, but sleep and work both have to fit in somewhere, lol

@Alinsky12 Thank you! I love plains islands the best. The vibe and the sounds are just perfect! This is a larger island that I'm building a village on

@@Quietnixe619 how about the bees?? 🤣

​@@hellkat71 The bees are happy.

@AlehorTheShadow that's what's important! If the bees are happy, them I'm happy 😊

@@MrJ-b1n my early game bases all still exist on the worlds I created them on. I don't tear them down just because I've progressed to the Ashlands.

@@MrJ-b1n anyway, this was created on a build server, where I can play with all sorts of builds without enemy interference or raids. How does what I am wearing affect the build? It remains an early game base, as it is made with meadows and forest mats, which makes it possible to build early in the game.

@@quakeplusplus Bahahaha!!! That's a great idea!! 🤣

@@AgainstAllOdds101 thank you!

@@perkcg thanks!

@@turbokrutieblinu The trees are the main source of support for the build

😂😂😂😂

@dewesafavor8275 🤣🤣🤣 Thankfully, this is on a build server with passive enemies, though it could also be built on a spawn-proofed island to protect it.

I was just thinking this, the trees in the swamp are great though. Can’t be destroyed. If you get high enough it makes the swamps easy, just watch for stray wraiths.

@smellykat6481 The swamp trees are fun to build on too! I've done a smelter workshop in the trees above a surtling spawn. The smelted metal dropped through to the level below, as did the coal from the kiln (because a surtling spawn can't keep up with 8 smelters, lol)

Definitely a great combination!

Exactly! She did a song with Eric Church and completely dominated him. She was Godzilla, he was Japan.

Been asking for a duet with them for like 2 yrs lizzy David. Amy Lee and Chester woulda been amazing .sub ivan moody

​@@shanecampbell7423 it was worst when she sang with a7x. M. Shadows drowndd never to be heard again.

@@nickcurrie2749speaking of Amy Lee i got my dream wish to go to Louder Than Life 2024 music fest 80 percent of all bands I listen to will be playing in Louisville Kentucky

For sure!! I've been longing to see it with Lzzy Hale as the female vocalist since it was released. Not that Ann Wilson does a bad job in the official version, but Lzzy is a favourite of mine, so to have an official version with her singing it would be amazing!!!!

@@hellkat71 the song already exists with Anne Willson from the band Heart

@brianpatrickreddington1750 I'm well aware of that, as you'd know if you'd read my response to Stephen. We'd like to see an official version done with Lzzy Hale. An official live version would be amazing, as they are both wonderful live

Me too! It was awesome to see it live!!!

@@hellkat71 WOW! so RRROCKIN COOOOOL 🤘🤘🤘AWESOME
