    Hi,
    I made this tower which is really big and it takes a lot of recources but it looks awesome25252525

    Pros:
    - A spike pit underneath the tower
    - Lots of space for archers
    - Enough room for workshops
    - Bombjumping platform on top + catapult
    - Anti-Bombjumping

    Cons:
    - Takes lot of time
    - Lots of wood and stone

    • Catapult is vulnerable to archer fire/bombs.
    • Team members could get trapped in the pointless spike stairway going through the tower.
    • No roof- vulnerable to arcing arrows.
    • Useless spikes on the underside of the archer holes.
    • A couple of bombs in that spike stairway=a pathway through the tower.
     
  4. Spike trap in bedrock part can be bypassed by trap bridge slashing+medium parkour skills. Also what Conquerer said. The last bullet point is probably what the downfall of this tower is.

    Literally, the collapse of this tower. I think you've got the basic concept of building Flammable, but you just need to refine that concept until it becomes a quality skill.

    Trap under the tower is pointless. The trap in front of the tower is also pointless. And can be easily bombed there, also catapult is exposed to archers. Also in ctfs with a lot of people in it i can just imagine builders block/ladder spamming this tower and knights climbing each other with shields breaking stuff being mean, jumping over pointless traps, bombing the trap under the tower and easly collapsing it.

    I object to it being pointless, even though I expressed that above. I think they do serve a slight purpose to make enemy knights wary about getting stuck in either spike trap. Other than that they're basically pointless. :p
    (So they're still pointless-ish.)

    I say more then pointless since they can bomb through it and your basically helping the other team.

    I disagree with this last bit. If a team member were helping an enemy they would be kicked, for a start. Anyway, placing a heap of stone and spike in the path of an enemy isn't what I'd usually call, 'helping the other team'.

    I agree with the bold.

    I'm really liking this. But my suggestion is, make it two tiles thinner (which removes the double doors,that are imo a waste of wood) and like the others said, the spike stairway is shit. Also, that roof looks like a landing platform for bombjumpers

    Will try this one out!

    Use 2 bombs at the end/innerside of the tower to destroy the 2 blocks and then just slash away at the back wall

    Right now this discussion seems a bit silly.

    But, why wouldn't you count slashing? He initially said he could destroy it with two bombs, and everyone has a sword so he didn't say like, " I could destroy it with two bombs, and a sword, with which you can slash backwalls. I would also need my two legs, and two arms, so I could wield the sword and travel, with my legs"

    Oh well.
