Breaking yields	Nothing
Hits to break	4 hits

Dirt Wall
Hits to break	Indestructible

Dirt is one of the natural blocks of the game. It has low durability, breaking after four hits, and drops no resources when mined. It is the only natural block that can be mined by any of the three classes, and as such one of the few block types that can be destroyed by an archer.

Bombs will do massive damage to dirt, damaging it several blocks deep. Kegs do even more damage, naturally.

Destroying dirt leaves behind an indestructible dirt wall similar to the castle back wall. Both dirt and dirt walls add stability and support to fortifications.

Bugs

If a Trap Bridge is placed over a castle back wall, it will leave behind a dirt back wall when destroyed. This can be exploited to allow for structures that will not collapse, since a dirt wall will hold any structure up.
