Editing Moat (section)

=== Damage of the moat ===
Moats cause damage to creatures when they enter the moat, or end a turn into one.  The amount of damage depends on the town type as follows:
* [[Castle]], [[Conflux]], and [[Cove]]{{-wh}} have water as a moat that causes 70 points of damage
* [[Rampart]] has brambles as a moat that cause 70 points of damage
* [[Stronghold]] has wooden spikes as a moat that cause 70 points of damage
* [[Necropolis]] has a boneyard as a moat that causes 70 points of damage
* [[Factory]]{{-wh}} has barbs as a moat that causes 70 points of damage
* [[Dungeon]] has boiling oil as a moat that causes 90 points of damage
* [[Inferno]] has lava as a moat that causes 90 points of damage
* [[Fortress]] has boiling tar as a moat that is 2 hexes wide and causes 90 points of damage
* [[Tower]] does not have a moat per se, but has landmines in front of the wall (minim 150 points of damage, see below).

There are few cases when creatures do not suffer damage from the moat:
* [[Teleport]]ed creatures teleported into moat
* Spellcasters ending their turn in moat when they have cast spell that turn
* The stack misses a turn while in the moat. This can occur due to: bad [[morale]], [[Blind]], [[Paralyze]], [[Petrify]], [[Fear]]
