Blocks

This page might not be up-to-date (build 203).

There are various block types. They can be mined by builders. Knights and archers can only destroy some block types and do not get the resources back from all of them. Blocks are affected by gravity, as seen here. Blocks can also fall if constructions aren't supported enough, as seen here.

Natural blocks

Image	Block name	One block yields	Hits to mine This page might not be up-to-date (build 1865). Bedrock Breaking yields Nothing Hits to break Can not be broken Bedrock is a natural block that cannot be destroyed by any in-game item. This quality of bedrock makes it a smart choice for builders to construct upon as explosives and players can't get around it. If a player encounters bedrock while tunneling, he must go around it, since it cannot be removed. There is bedrock at the bottom of the Flag in CTF forcing enemies to try to take the flag from the top or sides. Maps Many map-makers use bedrock as a mean to prevent water flooding and tunneling in certain locations. This control also allows for the map makers to control where the battle will take place and to create their own physical obstacles. Navigation This page is in line with the latest build 2536. Dirt Breaking yields Nothing Hits to break 4 hits Dirt Wall Hits to break Indestructible Dirt is one of the natural blocks of the game. It has low durability, breaking after four hits, and drops no resources when mined. Bombs will do damage to dirt, doing damage equal to one "hit". Kegs do much more damage, naturally, between 1-3 "hits" depending on the proximity dirt. Destroying dirt leaves behind an indestructible dirt wall similar to the stone backwall. Both dirt and dirt walls add stability and support to fortifications. Grass Dirt blocks that appear at the surface of a map normally have grass growing both on the block and above it. Grass on the block is purely decorative and does not change the block at all. The grass above can be used as cover to hide a crouching archer. Grass has three levels of height, and will naturally grow over time. Knights can cut grass by jabbing or slashing the block with grass over it, builders can mine it like any other block to remove the grass, and archers can set it on fire using fire arrows.

Gold Nugget Breaking yields 20 (4 per hit) Hits to break 5 hits The Gold Nugget is one of the natural blocks of the game and can be mined for gold by builders. It is brown/gold in color and shines as you walk. Like any other natural block, the gold nugget takes damage from explosives but cannot be broken by it. In CTF, gold is collected to construct boats, siege engines, or tunnels. Items such as longboats and warboats, or ballistas and catapults are purchased at shops that require gold to be created. The Ballista is special, in that, it can be upgraded to explosives bolts by using 100 gold at the Vehicle Shop. In the TTH game mode, builders mine gold to buy scrolls, in order to build factories which weren't researched, or to pay for extra migrants. Navigation Gold Nugget If you're looking for the stone resource (material) used by the Builder, see Stone (Material). Rock Breaking yields 24 (4 per hit) Hits to break 6 hits Rock is one of the few natural blocks in the game. It is brown/grey/green in color. It can be "mined" by both the Builder and the Knight, but only the Builder will gain Stone material from it. Archers cannot destroy rock in any way. In long games, both rock and thick rock may become very scarce, or transporting it from your end of the map (where there is often a high amount of them) to the current front line can be a daunting task.

Thick Rock Breaking yields 36 (6 per hit) Hits to break 6 hits, then becomes (with 5 hits instead of 6) Thick rock is one of the natural blocks. It can be mined by builders, providing 6 stone resource per hit, or broken by knights. After 6 hits, the block turns into slightly damaged rock, which yields 4 stone for up to 5 hits (opposed to 6 hits if you mine a natural rock). The whole block of thick stone (including the slightly damaged rock) provides 56 stone. Navigation This page might not be up-to-date (build 921). Tree Breaking yields 6-8 (depends on height) Hits to break 12 hits Trees are one of the natural blocks of the game. Trees are grown by saplings in dirt, and will grow until a determined height or chopped down. If a sapling is placed over a non-dirt block, it will not grow. Trees can have backwall built upon them to either make cutting wood easier or making an archer post. Archers can use trees to their advantage. They can climb trees, using [W] and [D] to climb up and down, much like ladders. They also can grapple to them using the [Right Mouse Button]. However, if any part of the tree becomes damaged or broken, any archers climbing the tree will fall down. A builder can right-click any part of a tree to chop it down. To collect wood faster, it can buy a saw from the builder shop and create a tree farm. A knight can left-click any part of a tree to break it, but no resources are given for doing so. This can be used to knock enemy archers out of trees, however. Tips An archer can conceal them in the leafy top of a tree when nobody's looking. The archer becomes almost completely covered by the tree, allowing him to be unnoticed by enemies. Dealing with an invisible archer? Find the direction their arrows are coming from, the use the mouse to scan the treetops. If your mouse hovers over them and you're within short range, their name will appear over their head. Buy a Sawmill and create a tree-farm by placing a block on both sides of the tree and placing a saw under the two blocks. Occasionally, leaves will form close to the base of the tree. This can conceal grounded units like knights or builders. Knights can carry more saplings in their inventory than builders. Navigation

Buildable blocks

This is only referencing the single blocks you place as a builder, not the finished construction. Read the respective pages or the overview for the health of each construction and what it yields (For example catapults work differently once they are actually constructed, this however only shows the values of the blocks while constructing it).

Image	Block name	Building of one block costs	One block yields	Hits to break
	Catapult	100 + 48 (2 per hit)	24 hits
	Ladder	10	0	3 hit This page might not be up-to-date (build 1233). Spikes Cost per block 30 Breaking yields 0 Hits to break 2 hits Spikes are blocks that can be constructed from stone by the builder. Placement and removal Spikes can be attached to blocks on all sides and orientations and are commonly used to create spike pits and other deadly traps. Castle roofs are also sometimes outfitted with spikes to prevent enemy knights from being thrown in by a catapult. Only builders can remove spikes directly, however if the block to which the spikes are attached is destroyed, the spikes will collapse and destroy on impact with a block. Spikes can also be destroyed by bombs and other explosives. Damage Both enemy and friendly units can be damaged by spikes. Spikes on wood or dirtblocks will not damage players if they are walked up, but if they fall on them hard enough then, regardless of team, the player will take damage.. Spikes placed on stone blocks only extend or protract when enemies are in contact with the spike, but teammates of the spike-placer can still take damage if they contact the spike. The Spikes on stone block activate when an enemy unit is ontop of the spike, it will extend causing damage to that player and then retract and after a short moment, again extend, meaning that you cannot stay on the spike for too long. knights can use shield sliding to pass over stone spikes quick enough to not take damage. Spike Dropping The spike can be placed on any block but will fall if not attached to a "solid" block. This can be used to the player's advantage because falling spikes do damage based off of velocity(how high it falls) and can be used to kill the enemy. Spike drops can also damage team-mates to be careful. Tips Try to place wood or dirt spikes where an enemy might fall but not where a teammate would. Or you can use a trapblock over the spikes. A sneaky builder may be able to lay down spikes inside the enemy base, preventing the enemy from leaving unharmed for a good while. Making small "patches" of spikes is a good idea, as the enemy would have to avoid being killed by spikes while trying to infiltrate your base.

Quarters Construction cost 50 Upgraded from Workshop Function Heals The Quarters are a building that a player can upgrade an empty workshop into. Quarters work as a healing station, in which players can buy food. The only other object in game that has a similar effect to food is the heart. Quarters are only available in the Capture the Flag gamemode. Placement of quarters should be considered with great care, as they can be damaged quite easily and even worse, exploited by the enemy team. Thoughtlessly placed quarters can give the enemy team a big advantage. How to Build and Use To build a Quarter place an empty workshop layout, hold [E] and select Quarter. To buy an item, press [E], and select the item you wish to make. If the the object you want is greyed out, you do not have the required resources needed to create that item. You can check for which item you are missing by looking at your inventory and that of which is needed to create the object.

Team Door Cost per block 50 Breaking yields 25(5 per hit) Hits to break 5 hits Team Door Cost per block 30 Breaking yields 20(5 per hit) Hits to break 4 hits Team Doors are blocks that can be constructed from wood or stone by the builder. Functionality Team doors will open automatically for everyone in your team, while staying closed for the opposing team, thereby granting a tactical advantage. Their main use is to protect your base and the flag. Since Team Doors are relatively resilient they are a viable defense. There are two different types of doors, Stone Doors and Wood Doors. Knights can damage Wood Doors with their slashes and builders can damage both kinds with their hammer. Tips Wooden doors take 4 hits to break and yield 20 wood Stone doors take 5 hits to break and yield 25 stone Enemies can pass through doors if a team member stands in them or dies while inside them. Enemies can "put" bodies into your doors and when you walk through them the doors will be propped open. Team Doors are very weak against Bomb Arrows. Team Doors are often used to create walls that can be notch climbed by only one team. A downside to wooden doors is that they decay in water. Navigation Trap Bridge

Collapsing

A collapsing structure.
(In motion.)

A structure collapses if no connection to a stable block is existent. Everything that is not connected will fall down and damage blocks that get hit. Different blocks have different "weight" and normally fall down in a straight line (with slight variation)

Stone blocks will destroy most other blocks (except stone and doors) immediately on impact, players getting hit by falling stone blocks instantly die aswell.

"Lightweight" blocks like ladders, drawbridges and stone will have less devastating effects. They won't kill players or damage most other blocks. Ladders normally get destroyed by any other block falling on them.

Support

Support is the attribute of some blocks to have other blocks placed upon them. Most blocks give support. Ladders will only support other ladders (maximum of 2 horizontally). Support normally works in any direction, as long as the placed block is connected to the supporting block. Unsupported blocks can't be placed. Solid blocks always add support.

Stability

Stability is the attribute of some blocks to "hold up" a structure. As long as a structure is connected on at least one side to a "stable" block it will not collapse.

Most blocks in the game are stable, including ladders. This can be confusing, as not every stable block adds support. A good example for this are ladders, which will add stability but no support, except for other ladders.

There are also some blocks that are solid, which means they will stay in the air and act as a "base" to build other blocks on them. Solid blocks are for example dirt, rock and thick rock. Basically what the ground is made up of in a normal match.

You need to create structures of stable blocks connected to at least one solid block. Destroying the "link" to the solid block will make the structure collapse.
