[319] What do you build to get up

The distance between bridges is too big for your team to climb in this build...

So what build picture is this :P

And i mosly build a 4 block tower with door to face enemy side and quaters at top.

 

Well, in way of the builder, strathos made a nice wall, it is a bit intensive for wood tough, but its quickly built and can have a bit of punishment, because you can repair from behind, plus, it is expendable, so you can easily upgrade it.
(at least, if somebody doesnt decide your building sucks and 'upgrades' it. :/ )

 

Yes but as a archer this would mean i could get stuck...since i like to hang in middle.And if enemy knights come im dead meat D:

Exactly the same building i build at beggining only add quaters at top

 

Gotta say I always stick with the tower :S Repairable from inside, easy to move through with multiple ways out...that's a big one...multiple ways out.



Only downside (as Kouji has infuriatingly shown me in many games) is that during its construction an archer can arrow climb it quickly if they are competent since Acavado block is one of the last pieces placed.

 

What I don't like about the jump pads (and using trapdoors to get up in general) is if an enemy hops on it, you're stuck with no way to get to safety. Is there a way around this without using the team doors method?

 

Personally every other way involves them being able to get up with time. With the launch pad knights can not get up alone. They need more than one to do anything other than stand outside stupidly. I guess the team door method would work as well since they can't notch and slash 2 high but its more wood and more time. I prefer not getting back rather than letting someone in.

 

Hmm, you're right. Better to lose one life than have some rampaging knight(s) come in and wreck stuff.

 

I believe that wall is a bit too thin and unnecessarily high. It will stun your allies and prevent knights from shield-smashing enemies, not to mention the time needed to get up. And dumb knights will have a hard time figuring out how to use the first drawbridge.

My personal favorite is this:


I always build it near the frontline when we're in building time. It has no complicated things, as it was designed to be practical: extremely fast to got to the top, fast to build, and very easy to expand as new resources become available, without having to slow down or bother the team.
The door at the 4th block ensures the perfect climbing method for tight situations: you don't bounce on the ledge on the first jump, enemy knights can't get to it, and it won't retract like a drawbridge.
The internal ladder allows the maximum speed for getting to the top in the blink of an eye, and the doors in the gaps may be omitted if the wood is scarce.

 

Launchpads are pretty cool when you need some boosts inside your big towers or when you want to make a cheap assault ladder. In another cases they just lose against notches which are more universal and noobs who cannot learn launching and keep spamming more bridges.

 

Sadly its true they almost always never get used without someone spamming bridges. But in the moment of making it during battle its what I throw down. Its cheap and if I can't stay out long myself and anyone who knows how to use it can quickly get back in. Given time and mats making the front part two thick with a 4 high door notch would probably be best for over all mobility. (Talking about the tower I posted)

This actually looks pretty good. Effective, doesn't look to expensive and you could get up it pretty fast. I may try it.

 

I don't know if any of you have tried, but you can build boost pads up to 5 spaces away and it still works:


Anywhere in there and you can get up 6-tall spaces. Lately I've been making my towers lower door 6-high so I can use these to get in quickly.

 

These = Not cata friendly. badbadbad
