[Tower]The Chess Tower

I have seen people creating towers that are honestly quite fantastic.So I am here to show you a tower of mine

 

Thanks to that chess the tower can be taken down with 3-4 bombs. Also, don't stack doors like this, probably always at least 2 doors will be open so it's easy to break it with a single bomb. And you should place 2 stones between door notches.

 

I think you might be better off making that wall a solid 2-3 blocks wide with backwall in the back, because you really can't have something like that at the base of a tower, as Ej and Blue have said, its just too easy to bomb. I understand where the thinking comes from, (it will be cheaper yes) but I don't know if its worth it. I like your archer perch but I don't know how effective your double/triple doors are. I really try to avoid the double doors for speed reasons, entering and exiting. (you will see me rarely build double doors, but this is only on maps where I only have space for a 2x wide tower next to tent).

Also about your roof . . . It looks good, but usually bomb catchers try to either kill the knight instantly, or put him in a place where he can't do anything. Just from looking at that setup, he would land, (maybe take 2 hearts) and proceed to maneuver himself so he stood on your exposed door under your bomb catcher. So for your tower you should probably have an extension wall with some hanging spikes to deter those bomb jumpers, I would also put a 2x3/3x3 trap at the base of your tower.

All in all, pretty decent tower,
Hope this helps!

 

Thanks for the help, but also the chess middle is actually quite effective since most derp knights just throw strait bombs and don't judge but thanks for the help

 

Having a staggered door like that for archers seems like it'd help a ton, I'm definitely going to give that a try.

 

Great ideas you got there. Especially the check-stones and door placement.

 

Thanks I will try to make a better one soon so watch out or my tower might just save a game or two

 

I love it my only critiscism is how does relate to chess :p what piece is it?
