[748] Groundfall

This is a fairly simple trap that I started using yesterday - The concept is that the enemy will be running and accidentally walk over the trap without noticing. Immediately, they'll fall straight down and they will trip the trap block. As soon as this happens, they will be stuck down in the trap.

A couple variations include:

*Putting a spike in the empty space next to the trap black
*Putting a downwards-faced platform in the empty space next to the trap black
*Placing the trap without a wall next to the trap block

I will post some pictures of variations here soon.

 

This is excellent, efficient and I cant' wait to see enemies get trapped and I they will lose 1-hp but then if they move it is repeated then,then they can be killed (if they stay still)by a slash or arrow etc...
(I know stating the obvious.)

 

It looks really good.

 

Interesting. I'll try it out if I play Beta.

 

Too obvious. 3 noobs still die in it. a Pro is stuck in it.
I kill "pro"
hmmm.

(the above happened.)

 

Just a note, it can only catch archers without fire arrows. Knights and builders can easily break through.

 

not if you put a shark under it ...
muehehe..
I love shark traps.
<--- Bridge = Bridge (upside down)

<--- Door = Trapblock

<--- Dark place with shark =3

St

Stone wall, maybe?

 

What part of it did you not understand? Unless it's a huge pit below, they can just wreck the trap block and bridge platform.

 

Lawl wut? What were you thinking?
Just use sharks. Fixes everything. =3

 

I'm talking about the archers. With fire arrows.

 

.. and I was talking about platforms, as far as I know they can be burned and are the thing actually holding you back.

 

Just popping in to say that I'd never use this trap as a standalone building - the trap is meant to be incorporated into walls, towers, really anything, as that's the main way it's effective.

 

Hmm, SAD FACE TRAP (well I have a mad face, but it still gives sad face)

If you look at the time stamps on his post and yours... His thread was a full 2 weeks before yours. Rocker is focusing mostly on using as few resources as possible, while yours shows a larger pit equivalent of the same thing.

 

Wow, I wasn't getting mad. I was joking.
