The Castle Doctrine Forums

with the starting 2000 I think you can choose to protect the wife from 2k of tools or the vault, but not both.  For example, use thick walls, a pit, a powered door and leave the wife unprotected.  On the other hand, use a dog and a shotgun.  Placed correctly it would be difficult with only 1 gun.

ah I got 50$ I could really use santa

This is cheaper and probably more secure for those  instances where you don't want the chiwawa to die

for one thing it can be quite expensive to shoot a bunch of dogs.

here is a decent starter I've been using for the last week.  By now my house is totally reworked and nothing llike this.  pretty sure vageta came in and solved it and hung himself lol

Well I had the house with a big dog room at the start with doors that would open and shut.  I was just scouting and got careless.  It was in Mcintosh's I believe.  There are two hallways that go up with a wood door in the middle, you open the door which reveals a large room with windows on the sides.  At this point the dogs in the two side hallways see you and you are trapped w/o tools.  It could have been somebody else, but I know my bounty was pretty decent and it was about 11 pm eastern time last night.

ahh I've succumbed to a very evil dog trap

Anybody here McIntosh?  Im curious about the bounty

Ass Over Tea Kettle is now mine

My worse was after I stole 79k, stayed up all night building my masterpiece.  Then I had some buttons backwards and died during the self test.  Yes I was using indicator lights and so forth.  The problem was I was just testing too much at once that I didn't completely pay attention to the meaning of a powered door. 

Another time I was in a self test and walked into my pit in plain sight.  Sometimes the traps just don't register to you in your own house because they feel so familiar.  The other thing is, if you just spent a lot of time robbing with 2k tools, you start to underestimate dogs and so forth. 

One time I had a loose cat hit a critical button.

IMO, there is something utopian about the place that the self test has within this game.  In a sense it means that the behavior of a house is always completely deterministic, well defined, and understood by its creator.

yeah very good point.  I have no idea what my bounty is so no guarantees there.  It is definitely substantial though.  I would say its at least 10k but possibly a bit more as I never kept track of how many low end targets I went after.  Been alive for a bit over a week now I believe.

I'm not really sure how good this design will do, but I did read the forums and experiment a lot before planning this one out.  Sadly, once finished, nobody has made it past the first section.  I'm not taking many risks right now; I need more cash.
