The Castle Doctrine Forums

i do literally exactly what you do. im against alt abuse, but i want to PLAY this game more than 1 account allows me to. plus you get to contribute some more $ to the creator which is always good.

give me your name and ill gladly check you out

hi blackout,

its a game of extreme, extreme, and even more extreme patience. most people make a house either with a successful robbery in a new life, or just with the 2k starting cash. after youve made something you think will hold out other peoples new life robbings attempts ($2k worth of tools and all), then you can take a step back. come back an hour later or so and see if you house killed anyone and immedietely make some upgrades in your weak spots. and wait longer. and repeat. until you have quite a nice house that can easily repel $2k tool new life robbers + more. at THIS point you can start to inch your way through peoples houses and map them out in castledraft.com. you should only rob if your up to date on all the metagame mechanics. look around these forums, the wiki, or just rob a ton to uncover all the mechanisms of the game. when your mapping out houses remember to never go anywhere that could kill you or commit you to an area. always leave behind you a safe path to leave. the game may seem very unfair at first. but everyone (including myself) says that when they start. right when you think oooh ok i just need to be more patient, thats when you die and realize SHIT i needed to be even MORE patient. its basically the longest game of chess youll ever play. but with an absolute fantastically creative drive to it. id say most people are NOT patient enough to play this game, and thats why the playerbase is declining. but theres still a good number of dedicated castlers out there. the game is not dead yet!

PS: im very sad at the fate of SID. I loved that game, let me know if you want to play sometime. anyone for that matter

Jason should put the game on sale, and add a tutorial. Numbers will spike up a bit guaranteed. if not an full fledged interactive tutorial, at least some kind of video tutorial. that would be pretty damn easy to make

mala. just wanted to say i like your flair/avatar/profile pic/whatever u wanna call it. ive been to that house and died to that trap. what a clever clock house that was!

the guy got alt abused, and lost his cool. i dont see how theres an excuse for this. "oh it was just my alt, i was just checking your place out!"...and you say it like nothings wrong. this is why the dude is pissed. how does he know what the abusers intentions are? he clearly sees theres some abuse going on, he can only assume the worst. but he didnt just cry about it, he tried to do his homework and figure out where it all led  back to and there ended up being a third account! no big deal! so the dude is panicking that some triple account cheater is about to destroy all his hard work. gotta find them all and take them out faster than he can take out mine. its the only way. he didnt have time to properly map out the houses. you see how this guy works, hes methodical as fuck when he robs. he figures hes about to be cheated so time is at his throat now. he tried to work quickly through your house, and he dies. surprised? u shouldnt be. and ALL that shit coulda been prevented if people just played the game as intended

True words.

just gotta say epic house. clever puzzles. gj

does it matter? the dudes gonna give $50 real cash to rob someone, just do it

i like all of your ideas so far cullman. is there anyway to do a little scan on every server list initialization and not show a house if its on the same network as you? the whole "not allowing more tools than the value of the home thing has been requested before, and i have no idea why it was ignored. its a good idea, and if your going to make the game a little friendlier to the masses, this is a good start. keep it up

I love how are longest time members, beta testers, and practically co-founders in a sense are now the biggest cheaters. They love being the best, and nothings gonna stop them from doing it

Cullman, these people trying to ridicule you for planning to profit from Jason's game are nothing else but jealous. Dont listen to them for a second. Jason made the game not copyrighted for a reason. All these haters are just upset they didnt think of doing it first. Make a mobile port. Make it cheat free. Make the learning curve easier. Introduce personal high scores, leaderboards, graphic update, sound effects. Take the skeleton and upgrade its every part. You will make money, and this brilliant game will get the treatment it finally deserves. Do it. You can go ahead and sign me up for your new server, im stoked about it. I have dual accounts myself, but have never been an advocate of cheating with them. After all, why play a game if there's no challenge? Whats sad to me is the people trying to justify their bullshit cheating antics. I guess winning is more important than fun these days. I'm very excited with what you have in store for this already solid foundation of a game. I might even be into investing into the project if you really plan to make an IOS/Android port. That is, of course, if your looking for investors. Like you, I just love this game, and dont want to see it die. Do the community a favor and launch your project. Fuck the haters
