Raising the ground seems to be a really overpowered means of fending off enemies lol. With the exception of those who can fly. The ones that do not fly seem to be helpless against that tactic. Was that intentional, or an oversight?

Fences, and spikes seem completely optional in this game. I haven't played that far in, so I can only hope that the defensive structures are useful at some point?

I highly doubt that they intended terrain manipulation to be as OP as it is, but you don't have to use it, in which case defensive structures are useful.

If you just want to protect yourself/stuff without thinking about it, build an earthen wall/moat, but if you enjoy the challenge, use the defensive structures as they were intended and figure out how to build a good defense with what you're provided.

I've seen the issue in other similar games as well. 7 days to die has taken measures to correct their issues, and I suspect this game will too. If so, I'm already ahead of the game by not using the terrain manipulation as a defence. :)
