0:30 hey nova could you do a little castle tutorial on this base plot here at the 30 second mark please just started building here but I think I've messed up the far back part 😤
For the one right below you on the right where would I put my heart? I’m using that lot and the entrances are so close to the places you can place your heart :(
So what do you do if there is 2 entrances, on heavy pop servers you really can't just choose a plot, more like you take whatever is available, do you have any recommended defenses for that?
You just copy this general design concept for all entrances. If the entrances are close enough, you can even semi-combine them, using stairs to help funnel them where you want to go if the plot is OK. This isn't very common though... usually 2+ entrance bases have the entrances too far apart, or it's a 3 entry base so it doesn't matter that 2 are close together, the 3rd makes it bad.
most of the time if we get a bad plot, we either do the entrance on 2nd floor if base has 1 entrance on 2nd floor or just wait for a good spot to free up.
@@TheSweetSpirit so this one had entrances within the same line, so we ended up splitting the base in 2 and having the entrances both funnel into the same spot, then another base spot opened up which was a lot better, we did opt for going with a warrior/rogue based entrance, not a scholar one
Hey, quick question. Do "pillars" count for a golem to destroy and put your castle in "breach"? I mean like a single isolated pillar, no walls, no doors.
Can´t the pillars at the (reverse) stairs be hit by Golem range attack from about middle of the first stairs? Why don´t you remove these pillars so the golem has to come up all the way?
1.0 is releasing very soon. There are a lot of changes that will heavily affect the run. Thus, it won't be very beneficial for me and the viewers to learn about it.
@@nova_nova_nova do pillars/door frames not count as things that can be destroyed and put your castle in breach ? only solid walls/ window walls / and any sort of doors ye ?
@@nova_nova_novawhy is this important? It seems like it would be beneficial to have the raid timer start ticking down earlier on a lower part of the base that means nothing. Is there a reason you don't want the raid to start earlier on meaningless walls/pillars/doors?
@@HangingHecate Yeah, I had someone explain it in a different post. Basically saying if they break that down, they breach and can get another get in the base really low and start the siege again really fast.
On release you could do so many hijinks with horses, frog and bat form to get into peoples bases even through a box build. They patched it out but it was very good fun while it lasted. >:F
Great video, did they fix the bug when you can bat form into the top floor of enemys castle? I got told to never put loot in the highest floor because of that
The bug only allows you to jump via open doors, as long as you have servant locked doors, and you keep them closed - you should be good with loot on any floor
did not think about the snake ways...on the server my team plays there are 4 floors so this location would max out at 5th floor meaning 3 whole floors of snake ways and u cant use keys to unlock the base. Really nice ideas over all. I thought of using doors on the top floor as walls so you can take all the loot and jump down your base if the enemies manage to get to that floor.
When I feel creative, I make long snake mazes that leads to nothing then just do a "hidden" stairs that quickly goes to the top floor. Sometimes, I even put the loot room in the middle floor. The more unpredictable the base is, the better. Putting doors on multiple sides of the topmost floors is very good. Multiple exits on all floors is a must in my opinion.
ye. they have pillows inside. pretty comfy real answer: they are the same thing. it's all just preference. wood coffin is like a futon while stone coffin is like a mattress on a bed frame.
The thing is, you can bind 2 coffins of different type on a given server at the same time(you can build *unlimited* number of coffins, but only 2 of them can be bound). The bigger one - stone - should probably go to the top floor with more room, while you can keep the smaller wooden coffin near the entrance of your castle in case you need some good old coffin healing. Just dont forget to bind the appropriate ones if you have more castles
Can’t you also use copper and up weapons or bear form to break wooden walls? In general only use them very early and get a small stone area asap to put materials in until you can expand it farther 😁
Nice guide man. Can I suggest you put subtitles as your form of communicating to your audience rather than in game chat? For mobile users especially it's quite hard to read.
thanks! I'll see what I can do. I've thought of enlarging the global chat text size which is possible in the game settings. In my head, I'm still not a real youtuber, I'm simply sharing my personal videos and answering some stranger's question xD
It really sucks players feel forced to build the most hideous looking castles imaginable on PvP servers. I'll remain being a rebel and continue building stylish castles. My endgame is building the best looking castle I can. I could care less about loot because I'm not a speed runner. I just go back out and grab more loot while the sweat lords burn out and get bored at the finish line.
Your castle only works online, it's useless offline, since I can safely walk through a room with servants and banshees, and just break all your walls with 2-3 golems and reach the loot.
You do know that there's no "Offline safe" Castle mate? Building a snake maze and hope other vampires will intervene to stop the attack is the only hope you have.. or them running out of golems.
If you don’t want to speak in your videos I suggest just using a bot voice or larger text. I stopped watching this because I got tired int zooming into the chat with my phone. Nice try
That’s quite literally what it comes down to, just wasting as much time as possible, but it’s more than that, look at the placement of the doors all the way from the beginning, and the stairs to force choke points and delay even further.

you got a video on how you go about getting lvl83 in one day?
Thanks for this video, mate. I'm new, started 13 days ago and i took this same place, I will follow your tips. Great detailed content!
I rolled my eyes at the typing but this turned out to be a decent video with good pointers.
Gotta make due with what you've got sometimes, not that there's anything wrong with a little constructive criticism

Nice!, how would you build a base in the curse forest top right corner? the one with the bridge
30:00 about the 2 tile gap for the maze what if you put wall? you can't really jump frog no?
yes.
@@nova_nova_nova how?
@@lnz971 I meant yes, you cannot frog jump if there's a wall.
@@nova_nova_nova i was thinking about something like a bomb could touch that wall
you can use that balcony to land as a bat, in case u dont have teleporters on the lowest floor or you dont have access to them
thanks. forgot to mention that part. it's very important to have a landing pad for bats.
Can you breach after breaking a door frame without door?
cannot break door frame
Is the hallow mountain good place?
there are 2 good spots: the leftmost and rightmost.
@@nova_nova_nova do you mean of the enitire map or just the mountains
just the mountains. theyre the only 2 spots there with only 1 entrance, hence they're good.
@@nova_nova_nova thanks and one more question…do castles go away or do you gotta rebuild when the server ends?
Good content mate!. If you would add voice and do some editing with some screenplay ,this would get 200k easy trust me

Hey, quick question. Do "pillars" count for a golem to destroy and put your castle in "breach"? I mean like a single isolated pillar, no walls, no doors.
no. isolated pillars can make your castle under attack and prevent repairs but that's it.
Can´t the pillars at the (reverse) stairs be hit by Golem range attack from about middle of the first stairs? Why don´t you remove these pillars so the golem has to come up all the way?
golem range attack does no damage on that pillar that's why I don't remove it.
@@nova_nova_nova ah I see, I thought they could be hit with golem E. Thanks :)
the same for duo servers? and about v1.0 anything changes for build base?
for snake maze, you can do 1-tile gap now instead of 2-tiles. you can also position the servants closer or the banshees.
Hello I’m new to the game … I want to know if there are any permanent serves for pvp ?? The only servers I found was for 3 months…anyone can explain ?
there are no-wipe servers but it's not popular. the game is more fun when you reset.
And with this guide, we are ready for 1.0. Thank you!
there are probably going to be some minor adjustments for 1.0, I'll just make another video.
@@nova_nova_nova can you include best servants for defence aswell? looking forward to the build video.
Can you make a speedrun til lvl 83 before the 1.0? I would love to see your tactics
1.0 is releasing very soon. There are a lot of changes that will heavily affect the run. Thus, it won't be very beneficial for me and the viewers to learn about it.
What have you found to be strong for open roam pvp spell wise and equips so far if you do not mind sharing?
anything that adds movement speed. run to heal or run to kill.
Do you leave the front and stairs open as you do in the video to be able to defend easier?
yes. you dont wanna give the enemy an easy wall/door to breach
@@nova_nova_nova do pillars/door frames not count as things that can be destroyed and put your castle in breach ? only solid walls/ window walls / and any sort of doors ye ?
@@nova_nova_novawhy is this important? It seems like it would be beneficial to have the raid timer start ticking down earlier on a lower part of the base that means nothing.

@@Otyrr The goal is to prevent the breach, which is the most important. First door must not break.
@@HangingHecate Yeah, I had someone explain it in a different post. Basically saying if they break that down, they breach and can get another get in the base really low and start the siege again really fast.
If you get a mic, more people will watch your videos. Just a suggestion

Can I hear your voice in the next clip?
no
Personally, I use the base gates to locate the banshees. Great video, as usual 👌

Brother thank you so much🎉 hope you make more guides like this for 1.0
awsome video man, thanks so much!
can I use wood walls instead of stone
I think it takes one major explosive to breach a wooden wall
Can’t you also use copper and up weapons or bear form to break wooden walls? In general only use them very early and get a small stone area asap to put materials in until you can expand it farther 😁

thanks, very clear tips, loved it
3x5 with everything packed inside, wooden doors on stone frames, 1-2 servants with copper tier.
Take it or leave it pal
Algorithm
Yes
Good

no problem. I made this for the people who really wants to know. I'll maybe make a new one that is aimed for 1.0.
So just build doors ? boring
That’s quite literally what it comes down to, just wasting as much time as possible, but it’s more than that, look at the placement of the doors all the way from the beginning, and the stairs to force choke points and delay even further.
