So, I got the moat unlocked. It's a whole bunch O money, so I want to be sure what I'm doing. I don't want this to be one of the "learn be doing" times of this game.
First off, How much is it a waste of time and goods to build the 10% moat and then upgrade it to the 20% later?
second, How do we all feel about moats on outposts? I know I'll build it sooner or later on all 3, but I'm wondering if I should hurry on it. ( I got to say, that Exp looks fun!)
Thanx for all your time!

It is unlocked at lvl 37; there is an option to get a resource one or a ruby one.

to me moats on OPs are extremely, extremely important.
It forces your opponent to choose which tools to use against you. Without them, your opponents get the easy ride of putting both tower tools and ranged defender weakeners in the two provided slots, but if you have a moat, they have 3 defenses to weaken and have to choose which to use on each wave, but you get to put all 3 sets of tools.
If you don't put in moats in your OPs, you turn them into easy targets.
But moats alone aren't enough, you've got to put tools in them. Even stakes make a decent bump up of protection.
And as far as resource vs. ruby goes... any moat is better than none, and once you get to level 60 and are cranking out tons of resources, you won't be bothered if you put in a ruby moat over the resource one. You won't miss those resources.

Open the defense sreen on castle wall or keep. click on bottom triangle with mirror. Look on left and you will see three options9Icons), click on the bottom one which will say moat if your mouse arrow is over it. When you get into this screen you will see left flank middle and right flank. Place Alligators, Stakes or burning moat available fro a traviling merchant(they cost Rubies). The alligators cost rubies also . in the castle defensive workshop you can buy stakes, which takes time, and the Alligators for Rubies.

i think that you shouldn't unless you have a ton of rubies, you can get swamp snappers/fire moats instead, increasing by a lot more.

And, before you can buy the stakes you need Defence WorkShop level 3 which uses around 13,000 stone and 8,000 wood and takes 30 hours.. wish I knew that before I built my moat!!!

But the question still remains, once you build a level one moat, can it later be upgraded to a castle moat?
