Cullman do you have another tiny tricky house up?

i just shot a dog that I could not and cannot comprehend how to move w/o tools.  the house is super tiny and fits in the upper left corner.  The dog is directly on vault path. and there is only one path.

i'm only guessing cullman. but serious kudos to whomever designed it. i have no freaking clue.  i am trying to avoid spoilers.  but damn i really wanna post the map and let cylence, iceman, or blip enlighten me

Re: Cullman do you have another tiny tricky house up?

It's funny I do have a tiny trick house going, but there are no buttons...I'd love to see the one you are talking about.

I have been just casually playing the game experimenting with maps where you can see the vault and it looks like you could just walk right to it again - a sort of riff on my old fake leap of faith maps.  Of course, they have an inherent weakness in that you can see how to brute force right away.  No one has solved it, even though there is only 3 halls to go down.  It has been brute forced 3 times, 2 of them for less than the sale amount of the tools.  Here is what my current house looks like :

Re: Cullman do you have another tiny tricky house up?

I have stared at that house and scouted it very heavily lol.  I  was one of the first to die in it a few days ago, was impressed by how simple and deadly (although obvious brute weakness).  I don't want to say too much but I'm pretty sure I have the general idea, which is basically line-of-sight + dance.  I suppose I could take 2 door stops and meats and keep trying. maybe I will later on. 

here is the map for the other house in question, which is gone now, pretty sure.  it's reallllly simple, but walking around it had me scratching my head and I just had to brute it, which is how I got the whole map.  http://castledraft.com/editor/7J8SfC

That's a very cool, fairly cheap and clever house. 

I won't comment whether or not you are on the right track, wrt to my house.  I will reveal the secret to my map when someone figures it out smile

Re: Cullman do you have another tiny tricky house up?

I actually did solve a really similar house, and I'm pretty sure I could have solved this one, so I'm not sure why I brought a ladder and three saws.

My jensen life will expire soon, so I'll be 2k robbing again with him, does this house have a listing above $4k? I'll come visit if so smile

That's the idea smile.  I recommend bringing a lot of tools (but not crowbars) and running straight for the vault.

Sure as long as you bring 3 or less.

Re: Cullman do you have another tiny tricky house up?

ok i do not, repeat, not understand the turner house.  I have scouted with door stops and dog meats every which way.  i am returning with saws.  I do not get 1. unavoidable pitbull 2. that 2nd cat. 3. that first cat!!! 4. the son.

Re: Cullman do you have another tiny tricky house up?

15 saws later i am even more confused. my initial idea was incorrect, i feel safe in saying.  i have a new idea. it is not really testable without suicide scouts, though, i'm afraid.  so though i could brute it, i won't, and i can comfortably say: de fuh?  you da man, cullman

If I get my value over 4k (2.7 right now but with a bunch of paintings) will you come visit me too? I long for intelligent robbers! I am Mr Pleasant.

This might be my simplest and most successful house.  I am sure someone will get it pretty soon here.

Okay, it does not work how I thought it did. There are only so many possibilities, though.

I have decided to break my lurk to claim the little house.  Glad it was appreciated.


smile  i still feel bad for posting the map, but i meant it as a compliment if that makes sense. glad the appreciation was appreciated. and welcome. and moshi moshi. or is that just a phone greeting? i feel that it is.

It was more entertaining than most robbers I see.

i realize there was a very high likelihood that it was safe for me to use my 2nd ladder on the furthest trap door i saw. but i got scared. i have not much real robbing exp.  i will come back when i get another 10k i don't want. or maybe 20k
