'''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.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
Note that due to the high creation cost of bastions, it makes little sense to reinforce them with anything other than diamond.

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>

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.

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.

|(INFO mode) Using USE key on block within a bastion field displays whether a bastion is present and if player is added to bastion group. If the bastion block itself is clicked, the bastions maturity is shown : e.g. "Bastion: Some Strength" if maturing and a percentage equal to however much health of the bastion remains.▼
