A tower.....

i conducted an experiment i build a tower just an ordinary 3x3x6 tower few archer windows ontop
and i camped at it i repaired it constantly when damaged i added a few extra windows and stufff if needed more shops
that tower lasted the whole match

i build the exact same tower except i dident do anything to id and it was collapsed in a few seconds by the same team as before so heres my conclusion

A tower is only as good as the builder inside it

 

So you built a 3D tower in a 2D game? Huh, gotta show me that some time.

OT: Agreed. A tower is only as good as the person that maintains it. In this game, everyone builds magnificent towers during warm-up/build time and once the game starts, those same people despise fixing up that same tower.
The never-ending battle of architect vs janitor.

 

Teams with good janitors are teams that can keep a good defense, when I see the structures slowly crumbling because of a constant enemy assault then I know we will be losing ground. Some structures I can see why then fall into disrepair, like the inevitable centeral tower that always gets built, then is promptly reduced to a pile of rubble because of pushes, captures and recaptures, a mix of red and blue team doors and bridges. In cases like that it is understandable because most people complain if a builder is not helping the team push and few take the time to repair a structure that will be in the enemy's hands in a minute or so if the push he is supporting is not successful.

 

And the amount of friendly traffic it receives. A tower without defenders isn't likely to last.
