	Alternatively you can try to smash though the walls or gate. This will require doing considerable "health points" damage to the structure (currently 1,000 but may change) - while under ranged fire from those defending it. '''Note''' that some weapons are more effective against fortifications than others (~~e.g. grenades~~ and axes ~~good~~; ~~swords~~ and ~~crossbow bolts bad~~). '''Note also''' that you do not have to smash through in one assault - you can retreat from the fight and come back later. Note however that the inhabitants will repair the fort by several hundred points each night, so it's best to try to complete the assault in a single day.
