    This will be just a small guide to understand, how improve yours structures. I don't showing here, What and Where you must build, just a couple of simple ideas and how I become to them.

    Off course, you will not become a great builder after reading it, there are too many things that must be understated, but its more fun to explore it with your's self. This guide is example of my exploring, nothing more.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So let's begin, and start with "Anti-Knight system":

    Index1.png

    index2.png

    Pretty simple idea, while knight stand in red block (picture below) he cant reach door higher 3 blocks:

    idea.png

    Well, we have such information, so lets try to do something:

    why_not.png

    But now we have other problem: while you have something in yours hand, you cant reach there by yourself((
    [very interesting features with speed]
    So, we must speed up our character (I know 2 ways):

    simple.png

    Highter.png

    Too lazy to explain it))
    Another one thing: actually, very hard-nosed knight still can reach hight 3 block door)) but, its very-Very-VERY hard to do! If you playing with such knights there is one simple upgrade for your wall:

    simple_uprgade.png

    Door higher to 4 blocks game will not allow him to reach =))

    Oh, but there still have one problem:

    problem.png

    You cant reach top with most heavy items (cata, outpost), not enough speed, lets try it:

    So, this is it, my dear builders - have fun!
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Well guys, lets go next.

    Problem thats will be illuminated here is "how to hide yours workshops"

    Hide.png

    This is just my favorite 2 variants =) and first at all, "Elf Way"

    elfWay.png

    With bridge speed up you can reach the ladder! (WOW) but enemy knights cant. Simple idea (some kind like artificial trees)

    Also, small suggestion with building: while you standing on bridge, the highest block, that you can build, its our interested block of ladder (7 block from ground)

    elfWayHelp.png

    Well, the second one, its "Dwarf Way"

    DwarfWay.png

    Like this more cause its easier to use it.

    So, lets try to join it with our last wall, for example:

    DWtower.png

    EWtower.png

    Thats it, folks! Have fun.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This time I wanna to talk about catapults:

    index.png

    And lets start with discovering, what physical box has it:

    PhysBox.png

    Well, now when we know from what point and where is coming shot we can make a some kind of bunker:

    Bunker.png

    Coming next.
    Do you know, that catapult can shot throw opened doors?

    Doors.png

    May use it for protect:

    Bunker_Upgrade.png

    So, lets try to join it with our last wall, for example:

    Tower.png

    This is all for today.

    Have fun!
     
  2. I like the Geti. I mean seriously.
    Strange, I always do this:​
    :castle_wall:
    :door:
    :castle_wall:
    :castle_wall:
    :castle_wall: :teabag:
    I start with a simple linepeice then build up. I never thought the three blocks could make such a great improvement. It would be difficult to climb if the player presses wrong since he has to go down and vault up again. (probably due to panic caused by incoming bomb etc.) I'll try it soon. Thanks for sharing!​

    Sometimes this can be better. (but harder to build, need more place, enemy may use this bridge to not allow reach top)

    other hand, this variant (same idea) can be very effected:

    But I'm here not for discussion, what building better
     
  4. You can, it's called "edit".
