Saws

If I understand you suggestions correctly, you're saying that doors must be adjacent to a non-door solid tile on at least one side, correct? If I am, in fact, reading that correctly, could abusers not simply just build 2 doors and a wood block repeatedly? If so, I think the door hells would still be quite easy to make, unfortunately.

 

This is true and more steps would need to be taken for the problem to be entirely eliminated. But on the other hand the problem here is not what is possible to do, but what is actually done. I don't have conclusive evidence but I'd venture a guess that door spammers are not the most skilled players in this game and that these extra bit of effort could be an effective deterrent.

So I agree it is not a perfect solution but given the long laundry list of even more pressing issues in this game I would be satisfied with this concession.

 

Actually I'm highly skilled as a builder, and even I realize the value of door spamming. Hate it all you want, but it's essentially a ladder my team can pass through, stronger than regular wooden blocks, if the doors are broken they leave behind wood backwall which I can just seal up again, and door spam is also the direct inspiration for multiple wins on levels with water as my team could pop under them to avoid enemies and pop back out for free hits.

Wooden doors are just too cheap. Make them cost 20 more wood and you'll see a dramatic decrease in door spam overnight.

 

Oh did I? /checks

oh

sorry

 

What? The checksum eliminates the abuse completely, since you'll actually be able to burn those doors without using 2000 fire arrows.

 

Actually you have a point, with regards to cancer towers. I had forgotten those were the second issue with doors.

 

I know people a-many are saying that saws should be like saw blades on a stick, and I agree. I think that you can either make a saw mill like Raelian said, or have a stick-saw.
The stick-saw is just a saw that actually cuts the tree down. It takes 5 seconds to cut the entire tree down, and then it can either cut up the planks with the stick saw, or you can take it to the mill and have it be turned into planks after another 5 seconds. I think that there should also be an option to have treated wood, so you can choose regular planks, which takes 1 log, turns it into 50 planks, and takes 5 seconds to create. Whereas the treated wood require 3 logs, turns it into 30 treated planks, which are stronger and have a darker color, and takes 10 seconds to create. And of course, each of these sawed planks give less than normal.

 

Treated wood is an interesting idea, perhaps just as susceptible to fire but stronger against knights?

 

Yes, I was going for just more resistant to anything. Fire will take 2 more hits to destroy, or knights take 3 more hits to destroy, or whatever.
