The point is, the game logic has you having to protect your castle instead of the castle protecting you. Does that make any sense at all?

why not? in real life castles are not protecting anyone either. it's the job of the people inside to repel the attackers.
i think in valheim the most you can do is surround your base with spikes(they can kill greys) and 2star wolves. also i have a feeling that Lox can defeat trolls quite easily.
