Retired Houses

tigey101 · 2014-04-07 22:17:01

Is anyone willing to show there retired houses to help newer players get better ideas on what to build?

JoyOfTrapping · 2014-04-07 22:30:10

Of course, buddy!

TunnelHell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v90ro85s1Kw (detailed walkthrough in 2 parts there as well if you want some strategic ideas)

Halls of Despair: http://thecastledoctrine.net/forums/vie … hp?id=1072 (TCD fan fiction describing house's life cycle, and floor plans below)

Enjoy!

EDIT: Now some other people help this young upstanding gentleman out, so we can have threads about building and strategy again! The way the forum was meant to be!

Tips for starters

I'll put my current house, The Fusebox, up here when it's taken down. It's a beauty.

Not the best house, but that first magic dance is still viable(change the buttons) and hold off every robber until i just gave up the house to built a much better one.

here's my first complete house

http://castledraft.com/editor/Abp5Y7

it's full of minitraps, and most of them are a mess.

while playing you'll learn that a good house does not need 1000 traps to reach the top.
If well planned nobody will get past the first one without bruteforce.

My actual house is based on this simple model:

1: noobish entrance to lure robbers
2: Deadly trap
3: everything else is bruteforce prevention

The north at the entrance would be a weakpoint here(With knowledge or taking risk of the robber)

It's full of weak spots, rearranged traps, and misplaced stuff
I made it after 2 week in the game, i had no experience with serious robberies (just 2k suicide run, that never got past the first magic dance), and that's why is so inefficient against a tooled robber.

What is the point of the trap doors in the magic dance?

Every trapdoor with no use, is just to let the robber feel unconfortable and afraid to water power or step on a trigger. I put them only in if I have enough sparemoney

Here is my only fairly successful house: http://thecastledoctrine.net/forums/vie … 181#p13181

How can you take a screenshot of your entire house like that?

Lord0fHam · 2014-04-08 12:48:05

press + and then go to the mapShots folder.

Jeez, Gyuri! That solution is genious. No wonder the house was a success. My houses feels like childsplay in comparison.
