The Castle Doctrine Forums

I warn thee, friends!  This is a woeful, fateful, and terrible idea!  The election of a forum moderator is not in the spirit of The Castle Doctrine!  Castle Doctrine is a game for outlaws!  If one were to be installed, think how much airtime posts about the game being too unfair or too evil would get!  No one would be able to shame them into getting better anymore!  Think hard, friends...

Hey does anyone want some cheap Russian-language games and DVDs?  I am selling them cheap...  I have a couple truckloads as of this afternoon.  COD/money order only, my bank accounts have all been frozen due to overdrafts and identity theft.

What Ninja said.  And what MMaster said.  And what I say in response to every post like this.

Iceman, thanks!  Happy to assist.

Thanks for the link, Josh.  I agree with the points.  As stated above, the themes are fragile.  After reading and thinking on this, I would rather have those themes intact.

That -is- actually a cool idea.  Paintings add a lot to the game, and can allow you to create a goal or feeling of purpose to drive yourself onward when you've been holed up in your house for a few days and it's getting old.  It would be cool if there were some way to gather some kind of information about the paintings, as long as it was a little bit watered down, similar to Dustman's idea.  I think isolation and anonymity are important aspects of the game's theme- they are also very delicate and easy to destroy with addition or tweaking of features like this.  I would support an idea like painting info, or the "neighborhood view" idea for example, as long as they don't give too much personal information and cause people to be aggressively targeted with too much ease.

No, the robber cannot get to the chihuahua using a brick.  Only ladders will get him across the pit.  If he had a lot of bricks (~= 3-400), he could fill the pits with the bricks and walk across.  However, the windows will still be in the way.  You can throw cats at them to break them.  Then begin filling the pits.  I wouldn't recommend using that trap, a lot of robbers know this method and it's not going to leave your house very secure.

ROFL MazeHunter!

Wowzers, a clocky-wocky!  I went on a bit of a spree last night (see recent Vindictive Robbers thread) but this wasn't me.  House seems reasonable in concept to me.  The only thing I would say I notice about many starter house builds is they pack in a lot of traps and then thin walls.  To be honest, on all of my starter houses, I invest heavily in the walls.  I will have 3-thick wooden walls in most places, and even 4 in the significant places.  Combined with a little deception and misdirection, this is actually what serves me best against 2k onslaughts, not my actual traps or the number of traps.  I would suggest to anyone working with 2k starter builds to try building something with a good shell and some confusion, rather than something with a strong trap in a small area with a flimsy shell.  Other than that, interesting house.

Edit: Also, I break a -lot- of starter houses.  The "good" trap/flimsy shell ones are almost always the easiest to break.  From seeing the overall layout, and/or poking around the outside of the shell, I can sense the vault's location and usually bust in there very quickly.  Builds as I describe above, similar to my own strategy, are the hardest.

I also have been seeing these "strange red lights" you speak of.. This is deeply troubling to me.  I shall have to return to my meditation chambers and think on this..

A sad tale.
