[469] Batter Archer Nest

Spoiler: Read this before complaining!!

Sorry if this has been already posted

So,I have made a simple and easy to use archer nest that has multiple uses.

1.You can exit very easily.
2.You can shoot easily.
3.You can get to cover easily.



So, .. As you see in the picture below, the archer nest would look like this,with no backwalls or bridges...
NOTE: You have to stay BEHIND the the door so you can go prone when it's closed and you will be missed.

<--This is for shooting,instead of a door,which you have to continuously open to shoot.
<--This is so the enemy can't enter and used as cover.When an archer shoots,you can go prone behind this.
<--These blocks are for getting into prone.Don't put doors or bridges because you will fall down.

 

The downside here is that you have only one shooting angle, but other then that, its pretty neat.

 

You can't really shoot much, ther are virtually no other places to shoot except for in front of you.

 

If you open the door, you could also shoot up or down. I assume that's why it's a door instead of a stone block?
Good design compared to most archer nests I see. 7/10

 

Prone won't protect you if the arrow is coming in from above horizontal. Maybe add an overhang of some kind. Archers can always move up to the next hole if they need to shoot higher.

 

still prefer these ones by far.






Add these at pretty much any random point after the first section of the tower, and it gives all areas outside trouble.
And if you build a shop before that team bridge, you can have a shop inside.

 

I like this modular one. The bridge isn't necessary, but builders tend to fill in the hole with stone if you don't build a bridge.
