    I've been doing this small trap lately.




    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::spikes_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall: or mirrored


    or

    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::spikes_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_wall:

    I put it just before a door or a team's castle's wall. It works fine althought you have to repair it from time to time. The narrow down-going tunnel is meant for catching bombs, so that the spikes and the bridge will not be destroyed that easily. The thing is, when you get in, it seems too easy to jump out, but usually you will not make it with the first jump. Although it's not as lethal or tricky as others, it may be very useful if placed well.

    What the point of the stone block :castle_wall:, next to the team bridge :bridge: ?

    It seems similar to the BC 3*3 trap, with a bomb pit.

    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::spikes_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::castle_wall:, which is easy to jump out.
    :castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall:

    The extra stone block that makes that G form is the point.

    I think he means like this:
    :castle:
    :castle_wall:|||
    :door::b_shop:
    :door:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::bridge::spikes_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::spikes_bg::castle_wall::blank::blank::sword::(
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :dirt::b_shop::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt:
    :dirt::castle_wall::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt::dirt:

    Although I'm not entirely sure.

    oh, so base is on the other side? but i usually put doors a few tiles higher to make them more difficult to slash

    This was my first idea, but I like the jackard pit. screen-12-04-12-13-27-30.png

    If you do it like that, there is a chance the bombs will fly into the gap at the left, and explode under your wall, i think.

    I mean the gap at the left, directly under the wall and not one block away. 2 blocks left of the lowest trapbridge.
