    Hi.
    I've Created A Knight-Friendly Tower In KAG
    Build is 422, As I Forgot To Tell In The Title
    screen-12-06-27-16-14-29.png
    So This Is From The Outside. Looks Like Nothing Much In There.

    From The Inside (I Destroyed Some Back Walls)
    screen-12-06-27-16-15-30.png
    The Part Where I'm Standing Is Where You'd Put :bridge::spikes::bridge: Combo.
    I Based It Off Beef's Post On The Knight-Friendly Tower.
    Only Problem Is It Costs Lots Of Stone/Wood. But, It Can Also Be Made Out Of Wood! But I Suggest You Make The Facing Walls Stone.
    So Yeah, Good, Bad, Or What?

    bad. the knights will probably slash the bridges by mistake and the enemy will eventually climb up.
    a smart one with a bomb can make a instant bridgeladder.

    Good Point.
    Didn't Think Of That.
    Lemme Think Of A Way To Count It....

    Edit: Can't Think Of A Way.

    omg... so much spikes and bridges. I was going to say: what the hell did i just see? but no. Instead: Extremely good bunker but impractical due to the resource costs

    Yeah I Know.... But If You've Got a Good Team, And a Long Warm-Up Period, It Might No Be So Impractical

    dig outside the base and make a thing for bombs to go down so it doesn't land outside the base but below.

    Capitals. Are. For. The. Start. Of. A. Sentence. Not. The. First. Letter. Of. Every. Word ;)

    I can see how this works, but as has been said it's mega resource hungry, also building something just to facilitate either knight or archer doesn't make the best defence either, something like this relies on enemies been stupid enough to rush into it, and for your team to get alot of kills from bombs and not fuck up all the ladders/have them fucked by the enemy knights. Since bridges also can't be easily built in they way they are in this building anymore it'll also take up alot of time that could be used for something else. You'd also proebabkly want spikes on top of every solid surface if you were going to the trouble of doing it. Good design but unfortunately a very narrow use for it and it's not really practical.

    It takes approximately:
    88 stone bricks + spikes * 10 = 880 stone
    256 stone backwalls * 2 = 512 stone
    74 drawbridges * 20 = 1480 wood
    26 doors * 30 = 780 wood
    2 shops * 68 = 136 wood

    Total costs:
    Stone: 880 + 512 = 1392
    Wood: 1480 + 780 + 136 = 2396
    - Note: I might have miscounted by a tiny bit, but like it says: "approximately"

    @Gamerbro A knight can bomb jump over almost any tower.

    Too expensive.
    Door hallway REALLY? Can't even lead to an auri surprise cause the damn quarters is too close.
    The pit is way too unruly and one bomb breaks the entire thing, knights fighting on it will tend to slash break it.

    Even the front is poopy and the roof seems like you could live and with one bomb do TONS of damage.

    Not to mention a severe lack of archer ports so that the front can be built on and the whole thing OVER.

    Nothing is better than a good amount of invested time and effort. Although the concept is good, for it to work all the elements need to be combined...
    Yeah the resource count is a fair bit too much for anything to work in a real game, seeing that most servers use very (annoyingly) short timers that are set at about 50 seconds. Just take some brainpower into whatever comes into your mind, and it may be worth the extra few minutes.

    This thing is going to take ages to make. At the start of the match you only get about 50sec to put it up. Building this while getting bombarded with bombs and arrows is going to be near impossible.

    To be fair some servers have a setup time of 3 minutes or more, not so many anymore but I remember back when alot of servers had setup time defined by how many people there were playing, and you got some fucking stupid build times...

    In principle though yeah, time that could be spent making something a little more elegant and efficient.
