Isn't land ownership taxed? wouldn't it in theory cost a lot to own a lot of land? also depending who the count is will determine how expensive it is to purchase in the first place. On the other note, I heard that it can be fairly easy to break into property through smashing a window or picking a lock but I also read somewhere that you could put a hole in the wall of the house if you stand there hitting the same spot for 10 minutes straight lol. 10 minutes is a lot of time but if you make a hole in a wall it'll be worth it lol. So if you own a load of land and build a home and then swan off you're gonna need to get someone to look after it.
That's for a hole maybe the size of your hand, not one to walk in and out of. You'd need to sit there and swing for hours unless you had a siege machine. But your stamina and your tools will fail before you reach the mark of several hours. I'd imagine you would not be able to swing a tool for more than a few minutes before needing to stop and rest and maybe eat/drink. And sharpen your tools. The window smashing or lock picking route would be the way to go.
That depends on the type of material used in construction, the thickness of the wall, , the physical characteristics of the players toon, and the tool at hand.
if the house is made of thatch, a child with an axe could cut thru that in a very small number of swings.
While if it is made out of stone, it would probably take more than one adult person who are physically very strong. hours with a pick axe to make a person size hole.
same thing with wood. Depending what wood the house is made out of (how hard it is) , how thick the wall is (is it made from quarter in sheets or 4 in thick planks?)and what material your axe is made out of. Along with your characters level of strength, Would determine how long it takes to make a man sizes hole.
a child can go thru a single sheet of cheap quarter inch pine plywood in seconds with a basic axe in hand.
While if that same house was made out of this games equivalent to the ironwood tree (Australia) Especially if it was made out of planks vs boards or sheets.
Even with the best tool, It would likely take more than one person a while to make a man sizes hole.
Again this is all my theory based on what I have read in the DJs and Wiki.
EDIT: on the stone it still also depends on the material in thickness. Are we talking hollow cinder blocks, or 3ft square blocks mortared together. Is it a soft stone like sandstone, or is it something harder like granite?
So again, it is possible. but all depends on the variables of that specific situation.
though unless the house is made of something extremely easy to break like thatch. You'll probably be better off breaking a window or picking a lock.
