[319]Tower slot

I don't like the fact arrows dont go through bridges.

 

Ground level archer slot ideas:









These designs are easier to repair and less climbable by enemy knights.

 

I think what were looking for in this builder sub-forum are ideal structure concepts. Not necessarily something specific, but something that can be adaptable for any situation. The knee-caps, are really a really nice concept when you're up against pubs that will ignore an obvious hole in the wall and sit at the front with their shield up expecting arrows from above. So here is what I'm going to do:

Advantages of knee-caps;

Very good cover,
Hard to see the archer behind it,
Sometimes hard to notice it behind the wall or in front at all,
(applicable pre build 319).
Lowers stone cost slightly.

Disadvantages of the knee-caps;

Notch climbing gets those knights just a bit higher up your wall, could be bad. (Also gives a good knight a leverage spot to really throw that bomb high)!
With the update to how much damage bombs do to non-stone tiles, it would be devastating. Up to 3 backwall+ladders would be gone. Also depending if your knee-caps is 2-4 tiles wide, bombs could slip all the way through and kill the archer/builder that opened the door.
Usually with these, you can only get a decent arc with a fully charged arrow, can't use medium charge much. :(


That said, in given situations, it may or may not be applicable to put these on a tower, another disadvantage there, you can't "add" them very well, they have to be in the original building plan.

 

If you're going to put any bridges in or outside the hole(on either side) the hinder your arrows unless they're fully charged. Also if a knight is shielding against the hole the best you can do would be to distract him by stunning him with a fully charged shot, possibly making him die to a bomb/keg.

I forgot to mention that they are a great counter to builders(enemy) messing up your tower.

Yeah, that is kind of what I think this sub-forum is for, because if it was very specific designs you would have . . . (here is a funny example, Acavado trap and The Death Funnel with their respective threads). xD

 

Drop items into the gap. Then noone will be able to block it off as long as those items are still present.
