That made me think 400 tiles away? that is quite some distance away should there be some warning if u have a waste claim built nearby? sorry im completely new to all this criminal activity (iv learned all the skills except for the criminal once) and being a humble hermit farmer i dont walk 400 tiles each side from may claim before logging out to check if there r some some silly "so and so's" that want to steal my oats
another thing that made me think - why on earth destroy my empty brick house and leave the main claim surrounded by the 2 simple stone walls ( brick house was on claim but no walls around it). do u really think it should be possible to destroy a solid brick house without any kind of siege equipment?
Also i expect the hitpoints or a damage soak of the house is far too low.

. sadly i had some really rough experience being on a village claim (attempted murder at least a few counts by my own villagers), not to mention stuff going missing all the time...
So i packed my bags and left off... i actually quit the game for a month or so.
Oh btw my brick house "took off" 2 days later after an MM scout walked past and offered their "protection" in exchange of silver so i have very little doubt about who had done it
Dear Matcio,
I am sorry for your loss, and even more upset that a mutually beneficial relationship could not be established. I think your problem here is rooted in a misunderstanding of waste claim mechanics. Waste claims are only required to attack towns, and your brick house was not on town land - only a personal claim.
It is, indeed, quite difficult to tear down a brick house. It takes quite a bit of time and phlegm. However, if the house is completely unprotected (no walls, no brazier coverage), it can be done with the only risk being if the raider falls asleep out of boredom.
