    Simple and cheap structure which you build during building phase. Usually I build it next to front tower of some guy, because a wall is important in this trap. Surprisingly, it works. Other team's knight jump there (and die) really commonly. Really useful against first rush.

    And there is also version for flat surface.

    This bases on Doorslash Rule which says: "When a knight sees a door he has to slash it." So, even if he slashed it, he dies in spikes. If he doesn't die he slashes it again and then dies.

    What do you think?

    One issue I see is that it's too easy to get out of this trap. I do feel that would work quite well on pubs and people who have never gone to the forums.

    On the first one, I could get in and out without taking damage. It also seems that the door is a little too high to be tempting to damage it (I could definitely see noobs continuously try to slash at door on the bottom picture).

    On the second one I may take damage to get in, but it won't be enough to kill. After that, I can just shield up and allow another person to break the door. After wards, I could jump out because the right wall is only 3 blocks high.

    I'd add a spike to the right wall like you did to the left wall (below the door) so that way people who aren't careful get spiked there as well trying to get out.

    That, and make a 5 high pit. here is what I did:

    At the black side, if they vaulted somehow they would hit the spikes above the door and fall in the mini-spike-pit. And if they got past that, there would be no way 1 knight without a bomb could get out of it.

    EDIT: I made a vid of demonstration.
