Line 1:
'''Bastions''' are blocks which allow you to secure an area from enemies. They generally come in two varieties: '''Vault Bastions''' and '''City Bastions'''. Depending on its type, bastions can prevent block placements, reinforcements, ender pearls landing, and more from any player not on the [[Namelayer]] group the bastion is reinforced to. Bastions can be broken over time by performing many disallowed actions.
Bastions are managed by the '''Bastion''' plugin ([https://github.com/CivMC/Bastion source]).

Line 11:
Note that due to the high creation cost of bastions, it makes little sense to reinforce them with anything other than diamond.

=== Breaking ===
Each time an action forbidden by a bastion is taken within its area of protection, its reinforcement takes one break worth of damage. Once the reinforcement of a bastion reaches 0, the block is destroyed and its protections removed.

I am not sure if this information is true and will comment it out until I can get some tests done:--In overlapping bastion fields the further bastion take damage reduced by 25%{{CivMC icon}} if bastions are more than 11{{CivMC icon}} blocks apart <!--TODO: confirm this with testing, get info from other servers

Vault bastions prevent block placement, block reinforcement, ender pearls landing inside the bastion field, piston extensions causing blocks to enter the bastion field, and liquids from flowing into the bastion field. Vault bastions will not block entities (including falling entities), dragon eggs teleporting into the bastion field, or bonemeal usage inside the bastion field.
Note that ender pearls can still be thrown while inside an enemy bastion field, and they will work if they land outside the bastion. Bastions
Vault bastions generally have a radius of 10 blocks (so a 21x21 square, centered at the bastion block).
Line 116 ⟶ 120:
50% of the damage dealt to vault bastions will also be inflicted on all other bastions within a 5 blocks radius (center block + 5) from the vault bastions which were not affected by the initial damage.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/ggtkdx/changelog_20200510/</ref>

=== Overlapping Fields ===
[[File:Hjaltland Vault 09.24.17.png|thumb|[[Hjaltland]]'s vault
While it is efficient to spread bastions out, defensive structures make use of overlapping bastion fields to ensure breaking a single bastion won't grant the breaker access to a full 21*21 area. In open spaces, blocks placed in the overlap would be a liability (since both bastions would take full damage) but vaults use walls and other physical barriers to prevent attackers from doing so. Immense subdivision and traps make ground assaults against such a structure difficult.
Line 175 ⟶ 131:
[[File:Skybunker Bastions.png|thumb|Only two layers protect this skybunker, but they provide a large and durable area of safety for defenders.]]
One other form of field overlap involves the vertical dimension. You can protect an area in the sky (typically at sky limit, but not always) by forcing attackers to break one bastion at a time. This is achieved by separating bastion layers by 8 blocks (to prevent mining) and moving each successive layer one block diagonally away from the center. Unless they can find a way to place bastions closer to the center (either on the outside of your structure or on top of it) they can only break a single bastion layer at a time.
== Glitches ==
=== Block glitching ===
Although vault bastions remove block placements, placed blocks can be walked on for a tick. This can be used, for example, to pillar out of holes inside vault bastion fields.
[[Mainline]] servers have been mixed on allowing block glitching.
=== Exile glitching ===
