Dirt
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 negligible damage to dirt, doing damage equal to a couple of "hits". Kegs do much 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.

Grass

Dirt blocks that appear at the surface of a map normally have grass growing both on the block and above it. Grass on the block is purely decorative and does not change the block at all. The grass above can be used as cover to hide a crouching archer. Grass has three levels of height, and will naturally grow over time. Knights can "Cut the grass" by jabbing or slashing the block with grass over it.
