what if i work at the tool shop? they seem to be doing enough business to pay $70 an hour, too.

i've definitely noticed that if you have two accounts, rob your own house with one and just close the client, you will not be able to return to that house until that old robbery has timed out, or you log back in your other account to start fresh.

i am too rusty at autoit and couldn't get a pause button working, which i guess is slightly annoying if you want to use keys 1-8 anywhere else quickly. shrug shrug shrug i'm lazy

these coords are for 1024x768, easy to change anything!

i'm so slow today

someone is robbing the house i want to rob so i can't actually do anything right now

can i ask a question? has anyone genuinely used the voltage meter recently?

hint: most effective v10 walls will be chequer-board of concrete and pitbulls. bring your guns and bombs. lets see if you can reach my vault.

nine squares being blocked off unless i have a gun is kind of terrifying. i'd like to see that

i think it comes down to not having much else to do in the game.

and when presented with a house which is 'do a magic dance or push these buttons in the right order a certain number of times,' the lack of blueprints and the curiosity to see what lies beyond those trapdoors/grids/powered doors/layers of concrete, wood, steel and pits is a very compelling force. the sense of achievement* is worth more than the game dollars.

*achievement in the castle doctrine appears to be a mix of joy of accomplishment and delight in violating someone's hard work.

i've been pondering windows or a single 'escape hatch' that everyone gets to place that your family (and the robber) can use to make a quick exit..

but how to prevent people just putting that escape hatch/window right next to the family, or indeed walling it off to keep the robber in..

ooooh it's tricky! the castle doctrine v10, let sleeping dogs lie. scary tunnels!

i have been sleeping dogs and waking them up after i've walked past them as a quite effective way of pushing some tricky buttons when i didn't have a brick. it definitely makes sense that clubbing a sleeping dog is too easy, but being unable to wake them up would feel like a shame. hmm

i never thought of it like that. this makes a lot of sense and i graciously withdraw from the 'my family are such a bunch of prissy whiners, can't even step over a wire' party.

http://castlefortify.com/c/89ca7c1 ps. pretend saws don't exist and that the switch is not so easy to push.

obviously this is not a real house and you can do much more to defend your family / vault. but in a direct line, tool cost to reach this vault is $16,800. cost to club my partner is $5,802.

of course nothing is perfectly safe any more with the new super backpack, no matter how many dogges/trapdoors you hide behind. but that still seems like a big price-gap for this direct comparison.

edit: alternatively, here is a one-time robbable house. pretend it has just been robbed, but the robber dropped 50 guns in there. the little chihuahua is dead in a pit. http://castlefortify.com/c/4636cc4

alternative ps. i am saving up my pennies and making this, just you wait!
alt pps. maybe that chihuahua will walk on the wife and not the button.. bleh! -1 pitbull for a wall.
