[319]1 Way Archer Floor Idea

Hi,I Was On A Server Today And Came Up With A Idea:

Basically a archer which was under the floor could not shoot through unless another player was stood inside the team doors. This design does use allot of wood, (80 wood per 1 trapdoor+teamdoor) But can be quite usefull if the enemy has lots of archers,It helps if you build this over a spike trap.
So ... Hope You Like It and If You Have Any Suggestions Please Say,But i Wont Be On Here Often.

-P.S : BTW : Castle sucks beacuse i didnt have much time to build a nice one ^^!

 

Huh?

 

Its a bug, a bug isn't meant to be exploited.
If it was a feature they would add knights on flying ponies to counterbalance it.

 

Ah , but you are supposed to use trap-door floors ? or is the bug where the archer shoots through the top? i dont really understand.

 

Seems to refer to the extremely effective and useful method of hiding behind walls when charging a shot. It's vague, so I'm not sure.

Yeah, Drafiks, quoting yourself like that and implying OP is an idiot isn't cool, as you just posted a grammatically incorrect statement and didn't elaborate.

I don't see how this would be 'Wall Shooting' though, OP didn't even mention any offense. That is to say, this is a defensive design, for when the enemy team is archerspamming. Assumedly, one knight would stand in the middle, away from the arrowspam from below and above, until he is fully charged at which he would attack through the door.

 

Well, it would seem that the whole usage of trap doors as bridges is unintentional (and therefore a glitch?), rendering it moot. I don't see how its a glitch either, as having them block arrows would cause archers to become much more OP.

 

I thought he was referring to shooting trough solid blocks like castle/dirt.
Anyway I just checked your castle thoroughly and why are there castle doors?

 

The castle doors block arrows. That is the point of this design.

 

I know that but I mean the 4 door entrance...
Its not increasing the speed you enter or doesn't give you advantages overall.

 

Oh, of course that's ineffective. It always is. I've heard of owners who ban people for doing it, in sheer rage.

 

Thanks @hatsumei for explaning the idea. The 4 doors to enter were only put there because i was rushing.

 

Here is my archer nest design i came up with. Perfect spot for a archer to barrage arrows to any stuck knight that is in the spike pit. Would just use trap doors, but you cant quick fire through them anymore, so contraptions such as allow for ultimate defense. Purpose of the 2 gates, is to prevent knights from bomb jumping or stacking to get up there, or incoming arrow fire from below.


EDIT:

Here is the unedited screenshot, that will help some people understand how high and where the archer nest is located.

 

I guess the best form of praise is imitation. Nice looking perch though, looks like it will work!

@ opening post,

Your concept you describe and show in your picture is really hard to understand, I suggest you try to edit it until it is more clear to the point you're trying to get across.

 

Those designs are pretty cool and unique, but this design is much different. I am the first that made this exact design. Which making it unique. Going to go patent the design now.(kidding)

 

Yea! Thats what im on about. Paingivers design is much better than mine so refer to that if you can. :)
And Kouji your hatsune miku sig is cool :P

 

Regular ladders on top of a high tower work the best. The high tower design keeps Archers safe at the same time giving them a good effective range. Uses a lot less wood and its made fast.

 

Yes, That Idea Is Much More Efficient But Does It Block arrows Coming Upwards?
