[514] Awesome's Towers

(note: this tower is positioned as if you were on the red team, if you are on blue, you must make it face the other direction)
Black Circle- Pretty basic trap, similar to Acavado Spikes.Has fooled many knights, including myself.(did not design this trap myself, have simply seen it used in battle many times.)
Green Circle- Exit, self explanatory
Brown Circle- Archer part, spikes to stop bomb jumpers.This part is pretty self explanatory. (note:you only need the pillar underneath if you wish to have backwalls in the archer area, if you do not have the pillar, you will be unable to.)

 

That place can't really be used by archers, since they will just fall down by going in.
It should be


And not this:

 

absolutely bullshit.
just needs some ladders

 

Ahh yes, need to fix that.

Where does it need ladders?

 

A advanced knight could just slash throw a bomb up into that archerlook out thing..
Boom Boom.
People standing..
Red circle: all dead if knight throws bomb up;Unless knight shields.

Light blue circle:1-2 bombs and destroyed.

Purple circle: 1-2 bombs and knights are through the building.

Black line: Bomb marking.

I would rather add a knee capper' instead of that avacado trap'.
Hope this helped you.

 

Yes, very vulnerable to bombs; it was originally supposed to be a quick, front line tower, however it kind of evolved into a build time tower..somehow.

Black circle- Basic spike pit, self explanatory.
Red Circle- Archers can shoot through the door, with trapbridges for them to hide.
Purple Circe- Basic archer shooting spot, trap bridges are optional, however they adsorb bomb damage.
White circle- Another exit, with spikes to damage archers that try to get up.

Constructive Criticism only please. :)

 

edit at the point where archers can drop down on the team bridge and shoot people on he wall

 

Thanks for the feedback, Fuzzy-Kun!
Yes, I agree; the base of the tower is too weak, however I am kind of expecting archers to hold them off. :)
Also going to add a bomb pit in the spike trap.

 

Nothing much to say except that the base is too thin, and oh dear god how do you play with your contrast up that high?

 

Like I said to fuzzy; kind of expecting archers to hold of knights.

I play like that because I am magic.However I am going to turn it off because it is starting to cause my eyes to hurt.

 

Hello, I'm new to the forums. Correct me if I'm wrong but that design looks easily collapsible at the two archer doors. Also can the walls be expanded to maybe 2 or 3 thick? Or set even higher on some sort of platform? Apart from those I love the design. Then again correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I like your tower, its cheap on resources and plenty of archer spots. I have a few ideas on how to improve it.

Instead of using 2 doors for the archer hole, you can use 1 door to save resources:




When someone destroys the door, enemies can squeeze through. You may want to add an additional stone to stop that:





You could add a way onto the roof so your teammates can fire a catapult from the top. This will also let your team climb onto the roof to kill roof enemies.

These are just my suggestions, take or leave them, cheers!

 

Thanks for feedback, BC! :)
Seems the merge messed stuff up...ah well.

Black Circle- This is the main part of the tower, parts above are just addons.
Green Circle- Over hang, spikes to stop catapaulters/bombjumpers, any work shop can go in there.
Blue Circle- Basic Boost Pad, self explanatory.
Grey circle- Bomb chute to stop bombs.
White circle- Stair case & boost pad combined, self explanatory.
Red line- Seen builders using this, its to stop bombs from taking the entire back wall down in one shot.

Constructive Criticism only, once again. :)

Whoops, forgot to turn contrast off..:(

 

If the ladder is there underneath that door; 2-3 knights could pile up and get in from there,not bothering about that trap.
Put the ladder inside instead of out -side the doors.
Put a trap bridge there instead of the ladder.

It is looking better 'Imawesome' ;and yes use one door instead of 2:that will give you 30 more wood to use on stuff.
Needs more backwalls!, more backwalls! 2 correctly placed bombs and quess what... Boom(team dies).

More criticism:) just like you asked.
Your welcome.

 

Use more backwall and stone blocks as reinforcement. As it is, it's a temptation for griefers.

 

BC uses this method as well; I am spreading out the backwalls so one bomb DOESN'T take it all down.

I've started doing that with other towers :)

Meant to put a trapbridge there.

 

I still don't get it.
It's a skeleton, a bare-bones framework like that.
If anything it's more brittle in that way because it would only take one bomb in the 8 surrounding tiles or the 1 center tile to take it down.
I would recommend adding more backwall.

Edit:
Also, I saw BC using this. He doesn't do it because it's "stronger", he uses it for overhanging buildings so as to provide quick support and construction without having to fill in every sky tile with castle backwall.

However, for a tower like this there's no excuse not to use more backwall. It's dreadfully brittle as it is.

 

SOMEONE IS USING MY SHADERS OH MY FUCKIN GOD!

Derp.

Hmm, nice tower prototype.
This tower was nice, but make something to go on the top platform. Bomb jumpers love it when ladders doesn't exist for access to his little platform.
