The Castle Doctrine Forums

Well Blip love the house. You have managed to fit in 6 main parts to the house well & do that without really compromising the design. I love the psychological stuff you have going on there - something which I am a big fan of. Plus the fake 'combination lock' is just plain good fun & something that is always good fun on the tapes.

While the house could be forcibly robbed I think even if a scout had got a look at the first 4 sections of the house they would still have a lot to do tool wise. The reason the house becomes harder to scout is because you are doing things to the house but the house responds in a different way than would be anticipated with an average house.

Great stuff

Just do what I do! Build silly little houses that won't last, rob people that can be robbed, and santa those that can't.

Still loving the game, if not in a more relaxed and inactive fashion nowadays

I have had the same issue. The wife was killed in a spot where the son should be. The son escaped but obviously the code of the game won't let him respawn on the same spot. Instead he respawned on a panic button which was instantly pressed when the burglars came into the house making the house near impossible to complete.

I would think a way round this is to possibly make the family members dead body go back to the place where they started if there is going to be a clash with other family members spawns on new robberies - or something along those lines.

I can totally appreciate waking up to check the house, I don't usually sleep much and therefore have time to check the house. Unfortunately last night I actually overslept and got a whole SIX HOURS of sleep (life of luxury).

Would take $100 to fix my house if that so will have to go & try robbing someone with no tools to fix this house - or maybe just rebuild it who knows.

Can come rob me, $0 and a broken house. Sleep for me can't be bothered to restart now haha

A luck based trap is say 20 corridors all look the same, 19 will kill you & one has the vault in - thats a luck based trap as there is no real skill in getting it without tools.

Sequences etc can be deciphered by luck yes but they aren't what I would call luck traps ie you can on some of those work it out from extensive scouting etc

I maybe wouldn't go as far as blaming people for having 2 accounts. I would though say it is very easy to work with friends scouting houses (specifically luck based houses) for future reference. Pretty sure thats how my first effort at a luck based house got taken out.

Morale of the story - luck based traps always have a chance the robber will get very very very lucky.

I would agree that something does need to be implemented to give more reward for protecting the wife - or at least making it easier to do so. Right now I (as many do) usually get her killed off early to stop possible weak-points in my house design.

Thank you for the advice, it's very greatly appreciate the feedback (your feedback not my mics). I will just have to go buy a new mic (damn you turtle beach)

To be honest with such a simple house and so many tools you were always going to be able to work it out (quite a simple house) but am happy you gave it a good go on solving it properly instead of just busting through it with tools - the mistake was hitting the button which is alone which is basically a lock all button. If you hadn't hit that a simple brick to the switch which the dog activates would have done the trick

This guy. Too much sense for one post.

But seriously, a reduction in price MAY see a boost in sales, but I always find a game grows more from the players that WANT it whatever the price & not just because its cheap.

You have seen through my disguise & seen that infact I am a very poor excuse for a burglar

Thank you Stefan for the 73k bounty!

Thank you MMaster for robbing it!

I had just recorded another Youtube video about that house stating 'this will be a great house to harvest some 2k tools from but nothing bigger until it gets majorly upgraded'.

Then I went offline to go and watch the football on TV - by the time I came back this insane moment had happened. Never seen a bounty that high so credit too you!

You will both be happy to hear those incidents will go in a Castle Doctrine episode on Youtube at some point. Absolutely classic stuff - although from the tape its quite obvious that your finger slipped

*added* plus I know how it feels. I was on the top page for a while before I suicided on someones commitment trap that I didn't notice at all
