[514] kl4060's random spike traps.

random spike traps
BUT
If you think there is something wrong with it post it below on how we can be more efficient. BUT please lets not be mean to each other

 

we are ONNLY looking at the trap not the building and sure i will explain it later

 

ok i would like you to do a small exercise:

1. take one of these buildings, say the one on the right
2. count up all the resources you used
3. take those resources and design a straight up tower, without traps or spikes on it
4. now ask yourself, what would rather run into on the enemy team?

pretty much this entire forum section is full of people who make traps for the sake of having traps. lemme ask you a question: what do you do when a trap kills you?

a: run back into it and die some more
b: stop being and idiot and find another way to pass it using builders/catas/bombs/tunnels?

sure, spike traps can be made to be more or less impassable for an knight, but do you know what else is impassable for an enemy knight? five stone tiles stacked vertically. traps can definitely stop people from moving forward easily, bull solid walls do this better in 90% of cases. walls are easier to build on, harder to disarm, more reliable, and much much cheaper and quicker to make.

again, everyone please stop making traps for the sake of having traps. consider: what purpose does this serve? when is it useful? can i make something that fulfills the same purpose for less time/resource investment?

 

if we make my trap they die once not knowing its there because its in dark tunnel.
if we make your tower they don't die they just head back.

Not to be rude thanks :D

one on the right is showing 7 traps by the way.... its just a simple way of showing..

 

Point of game is to have fun. thats rite BUT the way you have fun, thats when losers come.

 

+ to quoting Para and MINIMAN, which I can't be bothered,

In my perspective the point of a game is not only to have fun.

The point of a game is to have fun, through competitive gaming, through meeting people and new friends, through meeting other people and learning about them, through enjoying the game, through gathering socially and through simply liking the game because it gives you a break from life. I can really use some more technical and complicated words there so you cannot disagree with me, however I am too tired and lazy to do that.

EDIT: Then there are groups of people who enjoy the game by making it not fun for others, even if they don't notice it. Most of us have all made a mistake like that at least once in our life, so don't judge.

 

For me competitive gaming IS just my way of having fun.
So I partly agree with you

 

the spike trap where you place a spike with two bridges, under and next to it,
is totally worth it.
it will, if used well, kill ten-twenty people before someone destroys it.

 

I 100% get this, this is why I use pretty much all of my bombs for bomb jumping and none of them for throwing. I don't think it's a bad thing if done in moderation.

However this is the building critique section. People should be posting here for the sake of improving.

 

Never mind the crappy traps, the only thing I am interested in is how you are floating in that picture?

 

Suspended ladder.

EDIT: I would be scared to go through these even if they're my team's structures. They're more than a little haphazard and look like they would tear someone a new one if they pressed the wrong key while passing through.

 

Nice. Definitely needs serious moderation for when newbs on your own team mess it up, or for repairs from a catapult or bomb.

 

only be true for most knights, some can even pass 5 blocks

 

And that's a moot point. What Contrary's pointing out is that these traps are time and resource intensive to the point that an impassable stone wall would be better. The focus isn't on "oh lol some peeple can jump four blocks so we'll make it 5 hederp"

 

Used editor to put ladder. If you zoom you can see like small half an pixel of ladder.

also I made bunch of traps to give other builders idea not so you can insult me or to protect our base. this is just bunch of traps not bunch of building with traps.
Its made so enemy can pass through. you guys use the traps in your buildings not copy my bunch of traps

 

yes. yes. thats basically the point if you want to think of it that way sure.

 

Anyone with half a brain can see tha the trap on the far right will kill them and that they should wait for a builder to come and build ladders. once you are on top of the trap to the far right builders can easiley build ladders to the top of the tower in the middle. Now you are on top of the tower any self respecting knight should be able to shield/cloak fly over the next two tower trap things grab the flag and run back, a few bombs should be able to take out the small tower to the far left (if it hasnt been destroyed/had ladders put all over it) and then all the knight with the flag has to do is notch climb the tall tower in the middle. shield/cloak fly over the first trap or jump or use the ladders that were built to get on top of the tall tower. then run back to his teams tent. In 6 easy steps your traps have faileed and your team has lost. Also these towers and traps are suicide towers and traps, your own team CANT get back over them meaning they either have to beat the other team or die because they cant get suplies on the other side of their towers.
