I've got a good house that is slowly rising to the top. However, a large portion of the defense is based on a combo lock. these work pretty well at lower values, but are super easy to brute force for determined players. Can some of the high tier players help me out with coming up with more bruteforce-proof defenses for a house near the top? Maybe recommend some good designs on castle draft? i don't need a whole house design, just some individual strategies. I don't want to use a clock because it takes up too much space.

So is there anyway this is happening? I don't really see why not because it would have no impact on actual gameplay.

Iceman I've got an idea for an object. it's sort of like the CAD but in wife form. It is basically a Robo-Cop with a shotgun, a security guard of sorts. It has to follow a track though, like a train. You can place the track wherever and the thing will go along it. There could also be switches and things for it to change tracks. All these things would need to be powered of course. The switches would switch when they recieved power through wire or a button. You can put as many of these guys as you want on a track. This is ok because 1. if it is unpowered, they all stop working, and 2. you obviously have to be able to beat your own house. There could also be panic style buttons for them that only they can press. Maybe you could also get an upgraded version that can follow you off the track for x blocks until it goes back, or is able to run after the power is cut because of its internal battery for x blocks. It might be pretty hard to do, but let me know what you think.

Thank you! That feels waaaaaayyyyyy better.

I'd also like a Mac version. I want to buy my painting! (Or have to steal it apparently, if its in the challenge house!)

I don't know why, but it always seems like other people somehow have bigger houses and have room to fit more stuff. This house is really complicated and look huge, but is still in the same space. Mine seems small and easy in comparison (even though no one has gotten past the first part 
). I know it's just my imagination but it's still weird. also, please do post the vid.

I just robbed a guy for 5k with no tools. It took a bunch of luck, but he had used all these chihuahua surfing techniques and I knew how to beat 'em! Thanks!

My design? I'm flattered! I didn't think it was THAT good.
#311 Re: Main Forum » The Builder Challenge #1 - $1000 House! » 2014-03-18 13:48:25
I have been seeing slight modifications of these houses on the list lately. Makes me itch to rob them, but they're not worth enough for the chance of slight changes messing it up yet.
hmmm, come to think of it, i did just see a house using my technique of blocking the wife with a kid. I know this isn't a new concept, but most people don't know it and especially not starter houses. maybe we're in for some easy money.

Don't tell, Lord0fHam
. That is the best farm house I've ever seen. It is still highly deadly and intricate, so you can often find it with 5k above its base value. Don't want it becoming like Mr Davis's house.
i mapped it anyway so it looks like we'll have to share the money It's actually pretty easy to solve, if you dont kill yourself right at the beginning

PS: Both of you have poked your nose into my place.... and both of you have no balls.
I have like 7 William Beebe's and 2 of those fb73w7i85yohrsifu87wio83grhfb9sw8 paintings. I hope you like bad art
I don't know who you are Amatiel, but I usually go for the low hanging fruit. I just stole another easy painting tonight, and I'm scouting my way towards 3 more in a seemingly simple house. Just waiting for another big fish to fry in my slaughterhouse
Are you scouting me? what are the 3 paintings?

ukuko, if you place a shotgun and then remove it, the price total won't go down until you reload the page.

Lol who ever that was probably saw it and only realized they were doom at the last second haha love it.
Thanks, i'm pretty sure he wasn't paying attention at all; notice how he opened the door even after the camera had scrolled and revealed that he was in trouble. He was probably moving quickly and didn't notice the dog until after he had opened the door. It wouldn't have made a difference anyway; the dog still would have beaten him to the exit, but it just goes to show what a non threatening entrance can accomplish.
And thats why I always stick to the walls.

I usually spend around $1200 for the full trap, but here is something I've been experimenting with lately:

Vault non-existent?
#319 Re: Main Forum » The Builder Challenge #1 - $1000 House! » 2014-03-17 13:01:39
This is my house, http://castledraft.com/editor/CWXPNP Usuly I would spend an extra 3-400 on it for more walls and a third magic dance plate but this is quite effective.
Hope you like it
ps. This is my first time posting on the forums
When they step on the third switch they die no matter what.

Jason, if you read this topic, what do you think about it? Is there any chance of this being implemented? I think that since paintings are the endgame, it doesn't make sense that you should have to keep ones you don't want. It would still be ok even if you didn't get any money for returning them.

I did, and I like how symbolic it is! I want to see the top houses fight over it just for what it stands for
That was the point! Also, what's the ETA on your server? I'm really looking forward to seeing the mod you made and playing with it!

As for the discrepancy between CastleDraft and in-game prices, its okay to just go by the CastleDraft values.
The problem is that on Castle Draft, things are MORE expensive, so they throw people off when deisgning houses to a specific budget.
#324 Re: Main Forum » The Builder Challenge #1 - $1000 House! » 2014-03-15 22:28:24
In the game doors cost $8, on castledraft only $6. So for example LordofHam's design costs $1016 in the game. It's an ingenious design and I'm fine with castledraft prices, so Blip you might want to clarify this in the rules.
Also cats cost 40 on castle draft.

Thanks! I really enjoyed this challenge. It really got me to be creative and come up with things I've never thought of before. I'm really looking forward to the next build challenges in the coming weeks and I hope you keep doing them.
