[281] "The road to heaven" castle

I like this castle pretty much. I used it quite a lot lately and I assure you, it works. It's really easy to defend it, because assaulters die in the deadly storm of arrows.

 

Lol purple arrow penis. Aside from that a solid design... yes I just wanted to make a dick joke.

 

Good design.... I will try my best to remember it...

 

Нормально так сделал ^^

Good design.

 

I make similar towers (minus the elevators) with archer nests stepping up like that. They are very effective if your archers will actually use them. Also they can be good for knights to shield stomp from.

 

I like what you're doing with the design here, catering to all the classes. However I have a few suggestions to add to this structure:

1. The spikepit in the front of it almost seems like it defeats the purpose of the modular part of the castle, because the archers don't have a good 45degree view on enemies that don't enter the spike trap.

2. It doesn't look like knights can't shield bash down from on top well, especially if they miss . . . I do this a lot =S

3. You might want to add another picture with some sort of cataperch for the top, because well I think archers would just eat your cata on top. Especially if they sat in the blind spot and/or spamming arrows out of range watching for the +15 to pop up.

I would definitely check out the corner spike thread and put one of those in front of your tower! A nice tower :) , I kind of miss shops on it, but shops are hard to come by in this build, they're way too expensive. -.-

 

Cool design, but seeing this used on a server before. I could superman jump it and get past it no problem. Maybe a wall or something to make it higher?

 

Heh, as I said before, I used it frequently.

You can add new tower block, if you think, the tower isn't tall enough. Usually, 3 or 4 blocks are sufficient.

 

Thank you.

Uhm, I don't understand, what back wall? Could you point it out on my screenshot?

 

Firstly, according to my screenshot, there is no chance to bombjump on the castle from the ground. However, with help of the orange arrow, I've wanted to demonstrate possible use case.

Secondly, you can append another block to the existing caste, so the tower would be a tad taller.

Anyway, I understand, you. To be honest, I can't say anything for sure with respect to successful bombjump, because I've never encountered this. If I detect that use case, I'll try to analyse it at report the results in this thread.

 

I know this is quite a major design change, but if you had the front archer window designed with small as possible spike trap toward the front of the tower, then you could use that to both trap bomb jumpers and also provide cover to catas and archers from high angle fire. So basically anayone that manages to bomb jump either falls into that spike trap and cant get out, hits the front wall, or flies over both onto either the spiked tops of the trap (the only way they're gonna get over the front end of the spike trap is doing another bomb jump) and ends up going through your clever team bridge trap behind it which dumps them down in the bottom spike pit. So the only achillies heal (which is already there) is the top of the stone columns anyway. Can't really explain in words too well what I mean so I'll do it in paint later or something.

 

I disagree with that red path going over the top and through the middle. As long as that column is 2 blocks wide, it can currently be climbed, and knights aren't guaranteed to fall through it.
