[281] Kill Zone/Traffic Jammer (Reviving an old technique...)

​

​

​

(Position in front of a well fortified archer tower.)


The capped entranceway helps create a bottleneck and forces the enemy to walk into the ladders. The ladders significantly slows player movement. Shielded knights are stopped in their tracks. Bombs cannot be thrown long distances. The ladders slow down thrown bombs. The separated stone segments slows down player movement as well. Forcing you to either move slowly on ground level or hop into the ladders which slows you down even more. Other benefits include allied archers will have slow moving targets and allied knights won't have to worry about their bombs being thrown back.

 

Nice one!

 

A couple bombs can clear a good path. Knights can also brake the ladders. I see this used in situations when enemies are being catapulted in or during the first half of the game when bombs are infrequent. Wouldn't it be hard to maintain? It's cheap on materials tho, that's for sure.

 

Because a charged arrow makes someone fall through ladders, you can also put spikes at the bottom. Double-edged sword though...

 

Still working on it :3 it's very resource intensive in that you need a very well maintained tower behind it. But when you have archers firing into this kill zone knights wont be trying to take down the ladders. They will be shielding essentially grinding them to a hault. And a bomb doesn't take out all of the ladders only one or two.
@Rayne We won that game :p

 

Yeah this looks like fun, I sure would like to see you add spikes under it though. :)

 

This could stop a head on assult from a enemy strike force once .But after that would be preaty much worthless (if anything is left of it)

 

You know . . . You wouldn't even have to put spikes, you could do something like this:

​

​

Now, with 5block high wall, there is no way for knights that get stunned off of there to get back up! It would be great to have an archer camping one of these, firing knights off the ladders into the pit.

This could be a cheap team safe way to hinder the opposing team.

 

I'd recommend that but I don't like digging pits :< I'd rather do something more fun.

 

Then do this:

​

​

​

And ignore the 50 players on your team that died to it.

Does That count as fun enough to do?:p

 

Do backwall spikes actually hurt people now? I remember reading it in the updates but haven't seen it really work in game.

 

Some do and some dont.Ceiling and side wall spikes dont hurt.

 

The only problem with that is it works both ways . . . Interesting idea though, putting it in a tunnel.

 

You can always put team doors cant you?
