Preventing blocks from being placed on reinforced surfaces [enhancement]

[BoredCoder]

It would be nice if we could find a way to implement this feature, as it would make city walls a much more viable option.

To prevent people from towering over? How would this help? They could just tower a block or two away and then bridge or jump across.

Well, although it wouldn't make city walls a much more of a viable option, it can still prevent invaders from quickly constructing a barricade within a city, base, or some other form of protected area.

it might make more sense to just have it so you cant reinforce blocks next
to someone elses reinforced blocks?
that might hinder griefing block placing

Only preventing players from reinforcing blocks adjacent to other reinforced blocks is probably not a good idea, as players could still just place a block onto a surface, and place another block on top of that and reinforce that one instead.

The problem you're trying to solve sounds like player griefing by placing blocks in your designated city area. The solution you are working toward is to designate no-build zones. With Citadel, this will likely lead to the idea of Reinforced Air(tm), which has issues of its own. With PreciousStones, a player can make a "City Protection" zone which sounds more like what you are looking for. These aren't enabled in CivCraft though.
