That tower design is brilliant. Your post was pretty hard to follow but I love the idea of putting spikes up in a manner on top that discourages ladder and archer climbing to get over it.

 

Thx and sry,made it pretty fast :S Admins can change it if they have time to make it more readable.

 

The pits serve a very important function, they allow archers to shoot at knights or builders destroying the wall, let me explain: If there are no pits enemies can dig a hole in your wall and be safe from arrows, and then the only way to stop them is to jump out of the tower (and out of safety) onto the ground.

The doorway is cheap in my opinion. I think it's cheap because you only need wood, which you get for free at the outpost.This means you can repair the wall without having to look for stone. The doors allow a builder to fully repair the tower without going outside.
Imagine there were no doors and just stone:
If the enemy starts making a hole in the wall the only way to fix it is by going outside and probably getting killed and losing your materials.

 

I guess that's true - especially since opened doors (damaged or not) will die in one hit and still give back full wood resources. So you could quickly take out the door block and replace it with a fully healed one.

 

+1 many thanks. very useful indeed

 

@HA1TER - I really dislike the exploitation of that skybridge glitch, it's just completely unfair, and block physics were implemented to totally stop that kind of thing.

 

I call it "Sani Sani's Super Excuse-me-I'm-too-busy-flexing-to-care Tower of Power"



It's actually quite a simple trap that uses few resources

 

^ This isn't really much of a structure imo but I'll accept it as such because of the absolutely amazing diagram.

 

See, it's supposed to look weak and unintimidating because otherwise people would assume that charging it is a bad idea and the trap doesn't work.

 

Where is the problem?Game changes every couple of days and i think that devs will see it and fix it...
It is in game and it works,right?
When they fix it,you can add support blocks under it and it will be a bridge again...Only shorter.
Block physics are just the basic ones.This is not physics game(yet?).I would be really happy if they implement
collision and if the blocks don`t fall apart and vanish from the ground.

 

You know there are kids here,right?
It is amazing how people have time for this kind of things,but they fail when they need to win...

 

HA1TER, JTG is a kid by himself..

 

Your diagrams are priceless, Sani.

 

I don't think Hater's bridge design is as bad as skybridging. It costs many more reosurces to build and requires quite a bit of time to set up. Plus, the whole bridge dies if that single support is removed.

It's kind of brilliant actually - the build is similar in complexity to many real-world bridge designs to provide structrual support.

 

Sani. I love the diagram.

 

It's very cheap archer tower, which you can build very fast for your team while rushing for their flag.
It stops the enemies just walking to your side, however archers can easily get past it.
The bottom tiles are not necessary, if you build the tower on bedrock.

Costs:
-65 stone
-135 wood



Place on a small hill for maximum efficiency.

 

JTG has the skills :D
