Yeah like a watch tower or guard tower or defence tower anything really just a wall XD but with more width in it

 

Thanks guys.
I guess pretty much anything is going to get shredded by a cata, but what I was trying to say by durability is that even though you lose a few spikes to catapult fire and aggressive builders, as long as there are still a few spikes here and there, combined with arrow fire from behind it, this is pretty much still a death trap, or at the very least, a choke point!

 

Fancy, but you need to add some kind of roof to prevent trap doors from being destroyed by catapult

because if you dont it turns into a "really stupid teamkilling structure"

 

I think that every time I spawn.

 

I did think about this Jackard, but the thing is, is that it needs to remain as trapdoors so that enemies will still fall into the trap if they try and climb over. The only thing I can really suggest is more layers of trapdoors!

 

put spikes on your roof. i would never use the example you posted, it simply isn't practical

 

Well i figured that spikes on the roof are just as likely to spike your own teammates, so thats why I didnt chuck them on the roof! The reason its a trap door is so that more enemies get inside the actual trap... plus, theres the threat of a catapult with every structure you build, it wont make a different whether it's stone or a trap door, the catapult will still destroy it!

EDIT: Though you're right, i guess it does make it a little vulnerable to cata fire

 

Spikes have to be attached to a SOLID block to work. Walls and team bridges dont count. Well team bridges count, but they only hurt YOUR team since it opens for the enemy. The only time team bridge spikes will work is if the bridge is 1 hit away from breaking and no longer opens.

 

Yeah i agree Noburu

 

A quite effective tower, good as a base for castle.


This is a castle combined from Monsteri-styled towers :D :

 

quick low-effort spike trap that actually kills enemies (and your team, so be careful)



another fun archer tower. always put arrow workshops at front wall

 

I shamelessly stole archont's stone trap. It's pretty damn effective.

 

I'm having a problem lately with stone traps. When I collapse a structure, at times the game will not let me rebuild those tiles. Occasionally I can get by this by adding and removing a ladder or something, but is there another workaround for when that doesn't help?

 

I'm getting the same thing, and I'm solving it the same way.

 

Me three

 

Its been like this for a couple of builds now, but it does seem to have gotten worse since the latest update. I even run into some tiles that you cant do ANYTHING to. It doesnt even make a sound when you hit at them.

 

you mean like those random dirt blocks in tunnels that no matter how often you hit them they just dont break?
I actually have this problem in Ace of Spades too, oddly.

 

Exactly that!

 

If you build a tower of 3+ thick trapdoors, archers can hide in it and fire at the enemy with their elevation unknown. They'll be hidden in the auto-shadow thingy.

 

An example of a great fort , It always works. Was under attack for a long time but still stands quite fine.
