they can't dig/break the blocks, they can't shoot the blocks, and grenades don't work.

here's 2 I built
http://i42.tinypic.com/2h67csx.jpg
This was the first built. I was determined to build something super ungriefable and that no one can take it down. well it did just that- no one every managed to break it. This is the only screenshot I have of it, someone put a cross on it while I as AFK for about 30 minutes. It eventually got to about 2/3rds way up to the platform and joined someone else's tower. it took forever and I had the command post part of the structure, since i needed more blocks constantly.

This is my second build. it was also near indestructible, no one managed to break the base of it. the base was built between two towers part of the map- between them in the command post. then it was tied to the tree to the front. About halfway up I started making it really simple and not surprisingly the other team brought that down pretty quick. I almost finished it but I was up so high I got vertigo.

And there's an amazing one that I helped fortify but not build:
http://i43.tinypic.com/dbla39.gif
one green tower that was too fragile and I built it up stronger (like 5X) and a huge stairs that someone else made. I did not build the the link between the two. Had vertigo. again.



The first two is really easy to shoot down....in which I have done that for around 10 times I guess.
But the last is really tough. Must take ages to build that.

Something must be said: starting tower far back (near tent) is fucking stupid. And what is really sad, most people try to do that. Towers should be started just below platform edge, and build back from there.
Why? because:
-you don't have to build horizontal bridge, which is easiest possible thing to do from any angle
-starting element is always most massive - and what's the use of massive structure far back, where nobody will ever try to attack it?
-you have protection from direct firing enemy, because of wall in front
-you are below platform, so enemy who is already on top need to look over edge to shoot at you
-tower is connected to forward defence lines, which additionally support it
-attackers are closer to builders after they enter SMG destruction zone, so can be killed
-because of T-shape nature of towers connected with defence lines, there is no single place from where it could be attacked

@zephir in your first design, i need to destroy 9 blocks to cut off like 300, and it's quite well exposed from the side. second design is only single block from any direction (front, sides, down) to cut off half of stairs length...

I love babel but it can be so annoying when your team doesn't know how to defend or build. You either build yourself and die, or attack theirs and nothing gets built. It's so annoying to be the only one building, yet somehow the enemy still manage to get right to you. Makes me wonder what half of my team are doing most of the time.

Wow...The 3-block strategy seems funny.
Although I play babel a lot, don't seems to saw that before. (Even though in one time, I saw the indestructible white platform collapse!!!!!!!!!!)

What is you guys name in the game?
Maybe we could cooperate more if we saw each other. Let me introduce first. I am "(SI)Hay" in the game.

Lately, I have been hanging out on the mumble server viewtopic.php?f=84&t=1933

DE, LASTofS, and I have been dominating babel when all 3 of us are on mumble together.

Babel is my favourite game mode, by far.

This is pretty fun,a bit annoying at times when your team has no idea what they're playing but this new anti-griefing system is good.

Green mega tower, it had 3 staircases to the top and a parkour path to the top near the column closes to the platform
