    I've been thinking of a new trap idea.

    It's just a common one -1 spike placed in a corner- but we should place a lure.
    Basically, you make a hole accesible for your team in the base of a tower or a hill and not very hard to block. The point is to make the enemies run into the spike so, a team mate, preferibly a knight, has to stay in this short of cage. Presumably the knights will try to kill him. I know this can go wrong and they may break into through this small room, but how funny this would be.

    Why would anyone try to kill that lure. It's not like a knight can jab through stone :P
    If they were to fall for that trap, it would be of stupidity. And if they were stupid, you wouldn't need a lure to lure them in.

    Two things wrong with this one...

    1. You need to fall on spikes to get harmed, walking past them is harmless

    2. You can still get the builder inside using powerstrikes.

    Yeah it's a bit...iffy shall we say. I can't really see any way an enemy would fall for that. Also don't you find it boring camping in that hole waiting for an inevitable death sooner or later.

    If the lure is effective enough to stop an enemy push, the player inside would become bored due to such short, sporadic fighting. Your team would also be down one player when retaliating.

    You can harm yourself by walking into a corner spike, so this trap would work.

    Pretty sure that one is an autospike, also pretty sure that you can sometimes hit through at that angle so it's a pretty good lure, if anything you can also have them waste a bomb and then place down bridges on the inside to negate any damage the bomb would have done.

    You can hit through 1 tile hole as knight if the opponent is close enough to it. I haven´t tried the trap yet.

    Maybe something like this would work better?

    Room to stand back out of reach of slashes, a place to heal and an escape route.

    also kinda unrelated but it is always a good idea to put spikes in front of tower because sometimes knights just jump up and slash then repeat well not if

    :castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :door::door:
    :castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :door::door:
    :castle_wall::castle_wall: :skull:
    :door::door::castle_bg::sword:
    :castle_wall::castle_wall::spikes_bg::spikes_bg:

    When you are walking along spikes and go into a wall, you take damage.

    you would want to make sure that you have a good enough knight because what happens if an enemy knight has a bomb and bombs the knight inside straight away. It stuffs up the whole lure idea and the bomb may destroy the spikes anyway but there is always the risk of that happening anyway

    I've seen some people make traps like this, and the only person that got killed by it was me... So thats a BIG NO. :p you should probably put bridges over the spikes just to make sure team mates don't fall and kill them selves. X3

    I see this is a bait trap?
    Wouldn't it be better to place a team door at the last second similar to Guro's glitch auto spike thingo? (I would link but I am on my iPod)

    I still find the best way to bait a knights is build a three/four tall single stone/team door wall. Sit on the top. Place spike at last second. Insta gibs for all. A smart builder can kill more knights than a single knight could anyday.
