6ĭon’t Put Important Stuff Near The Windows If you can’t build high just yet, then you can also pick a high place to build your bases such as a tall shrine or a mountain or cliff-top. The structure’s architecture itself is the defense. It ensures that your base raiders will waste as much time as possible trying to penetrate the defenses. That’s why building vertically instead of horizontally is a good strategy. Other times, players drive holes in them. One of the most common ways of raiding a base in Conan Exiles is by scaling the walls and then attacking everyone inside. That not only reduces the number of assaultable sides for your base, but also guarantees that at least one side of your perimeter wall is invulnerable.

That’s why many experienced Conan Exiles players prefer to stick their bases to a mountain or hillside. Those can’t be destroyed and will also reduce the number of resources you need for building.

In addition to minimizing the number of chokepoints or assaultable angles in your base, you want the best kind of walls in Conan Exiles: environmental. Fewer entrances and a single chokepoint means the base is deadly to raid and can dissuade other players if you’re on a PvP server. That’s why looking for a cave or a roofed area with as few entrances or exits as possible is a good idea for base planning. This is so you can easily defend the base. For better base building common sense, you’ll want something with only one entrance, ideally. Additionally, you’ll want to make sure it’s a chokepoint - a spot where invaders can get stuck and you can pick off the ones at the front easily. Speaking of strategic positioning - a base out in the open is quite bad, as it can be attacked from all angles. Try To Have As Few Entrances As Possible - And Make Them Chokepoints A small base is also easier to defend and looks less appealing to raiders, so your chances of turning it into a big home later are actually higher this way, in a sense. A big base, especially in the early game or lower levels, will likely have poor defenses due to the lower tier materials.įor that matter, you’ll want to keep things manageable by only living within your means. Big dreams tend to stay as they are and the same holds true in Conan Exiles if you try to shoot for the stars.
