How can u guys even make those awesome towers ;_;

Gabrui · April 26, 2014, 6:34pm

I build them in a babel game, so it takes as much time as a babel match.
The first thing I do is to think about the layout of the tower, and then I start to build it (right click and hold). It takes some patience, and it is worst when it has its stairs griefed, but if this happens, I call the admin.

Anyway, it is about planning and having patience.

Every single time the enemies kills me when i try to build XD

Gabrui · April 26, 2014, 8:14pm

Ah, that’s the reason I have designed Ram Towers. 8)

The Greatests Babel Towers

I decided to make a topic to immortalize our greatests constructions, the masterpiece of babel game mode.
Feel free to post your greatest creations and to comment about it.

About Battering Ram Towers:
Those towers are opened in its back so they can be continually built, even though they have reached the sky. The most efficient model, designed by me, requires floors 6 blocks high and 6 blocks wide, while its lenght may vary from 4 blocks to 20 or even more. This allows the tower to be easily repaired and also means that the builders are protected from snipers for most of the time (by first building a security wall 2 blocks high when new floor needs to be built and then making the front wall 7 blocks high). The construction time may vary according to the lenght of the tower and how many players are building it. Most of the times, I am able to build, alone, faster than the enemy a tower as the green one down here.
The biggest problem is that, as there is just one block wide stair, it can be easily blocked by a griefer player, and you would really waste a lot of time trying to make another way up. This has happened to me several times and, fortunately, there is always another outside stair that may be built.

1. The Blue Battering Ram Tower

Its construction was aided by the team, and led us to the absolute victory:

2. The Green Battering Ram Tower

It was all built by myself, while the team was trying to build a diagonal stair. So it is smaller than the blue one, and took less time to be built.

Right click + drag does wonders.

Gabrui · April 28, 2014, 11:51pm

When I was a newbie to the game, I used to thought that building like that was a hack, until someone told all I had to do was to right click and drag. xD

Eddy · April 29, 2014, 11:10pm

Same

Gabrui · April 30, 2014, 10:46pm
