How to play castle wars and NOT wind up your team.

CreepyPirate · **Posted:** July 23rd, 2005, 2:44 pm

The following is ADVICE it is NOT orders as im fully awere i can't stop people doing anything.

1) Low levels YES ok you have the right to take the flag BUT just because you have the right does not mean you should. Think about it, who stands more chance a level 30 or a level 80? *WHY* you think you will get some form of glory for doing it i don't know, but doing so makes you die and someone from the oposit team take the flag. So stop it! Kill, you still get tickets, you stil help your team. Taking a flag does NOT help.

2) Barricades. Come on, it's not funny to dump them everywhere.. i have chased people before when someone on my OWN team drops it so i get stuck WHY don't you think. Barricading the flag room? HOW do you expect someone to score when they can't get in? What if they have no health and are under attack? Place them in SMART places like for example IF someone from another team runs into the flag room THEN block the door!

3) Caterpult. It CAN be handy..but firing at the floor in front of you? If you don't know how to use it DON'T USE IT! You are iritating EVERYONE.

4) Big headed idiots. Have some sportsmenship in real life if you beat someone would you shout "hahaha noob!! owned!!." Specialy if you happen to out number them 20 to one? Killing one person on a game is nothing to be proud of. Get an education, then be proud.

5) Swearing. No one thinks your clever. No one respects you for it. You look like a ten year old idiot. IF you are a ten year old idiot kindly ask your mother to disconnect the internet and take some responsibility. Im sick of kids swearing because parents can't be botherd to watch them, yet the moment a peedo takes them "OOPS NOT ARE FAULT! Lets blame computer games or something else!!".

Pretty much all i can think of - if you would like to add to it..be my guest.

very nice. I agree 100% with everything you said ecspecially about the low lvls with the flag

Kronic · **Posted:** July 23rd, 2005, 3:58 pm

yeah i definetly agree
i played castle wars on my friends account and it was fun but some ppl were just idiots. i mean i saw noobs firing catapults like 2 ft into a swarm of our own team. and then lvl -30 noobs putting barracades in front of our guys wiht the flag. the whole thing just made me mad so i have no objections to what u just said

this is why i dont waste my time at c wars.. people on the opposite team pay ppl to go on the other *usually friends* to set those barricades up. and to get the flag so no one else can.. so they can always win.. its rather pathetic..all that for castle wars tickets to buy useless ugly looking armor? well, the blue and white looks ok..

the whole thing with the barricades :

YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!! I mean, you're only allowed to set up 10 barricades, i found a noob making a smily face on map with them

i was so mad......so i left the team and joined the other one....like 20+ level 120's (probably a clan or something) anyway, we were all laughing cus we took our own flag from killing the other team dude....and we barricaded the level 120 with the flag....he could not get out...2 baricades per each direction as in here's a bad picture:

*the diagram's really inaccurate....i dont know if i got the square right and all but thats what it looked like....i was stuck with the rangers....*

We were REALLY organized.......

Well......IF you can ever get a SMART team, the diagram above is how i would recomend setting up.

Well, that's my two cents

Another thing that ticks me off is flag hoggers. Now it's NOT because there holding there flag..that's tactics..get it back..kill them. BUT when you're jumping about on the stepping stones and your team mates are jumping with you it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to hit the guy! Play fair for god sakes it's just a game.

Heh. If you swap worlds you can normally find a good one. Me and my girlfriend have been playing recently testing out my new whip, it's funny...everytime i trade it over to her everyone throws a fit thinking im going to be scammed. :roll:

Oh and one more thing..WHY can't i take tickets into castle wars now? It's begining to annoy me having to bank them and click 1000+ times to get into my team.

Couldn't agree more...
Once when we (I was with a friend of mine who is member)were in the Sara-team and both teams hadd their own flags... KK, but on the island was this big war going on with both guys holding the flag. When i came their i saw our guy with the flag was almost dead so i runned to him to grab the flag a but lvl22 of our team grabbed it and "TRIED" to run away... We lost that game with something like 378-4 :evil:

And i also h8 people who fight for Zamorak and being on Saradonim... They break our defence for no reason they are wasting barricades by putting them in the respawn room, always putting doors open and try to grab the opponent flag and then drop it so that they can grab it...

I beleive it was that some people were complaining by jagex that there were people who didn't play CW but doing other things like alching so they there was less space on the team...

Those are some nice tips. Maybe you should make a little guide about how to win and play reasonable in Castle Wars.

dknifton2004 · **Posted:** July 24th, 2005, 5:22 am

u forgot 1 or 2...hints

the newbs (correct term) who keep closing the door when our team is trying to get out eh? this happens all the time and its lvl 20-40's rarely see below lvl 20 that do it. they forget that our team needs to get out and that we need to score using that door...so dont close door please...

or the other door is always caded up its so enoying spec if you have the flag and u need to score...dont cade it up please...

THE WORST ONE!!! please if u learn anything learn this one

players that gain there own flag and take it back into there own base. they think that its more safer at base where 10 players are standing at our flag in the tower....if u get flag keep it outside the base there players cant score if we got flag!! if the time comes give to a higher lvl player but only when its safe..

oh and the tickets i hate it aswell i normaly loose my place on the team that i want to go on because of banking now..

Yea. I would if rsbandb would host there users guides but at the moment they rely on hq not to sure why they don't host there own as well..i mean i know it's a small community but i know i would submit quiet a few given the chance..that and if relationships with hq turned bad at least there would be some info left over.

Edit: As a matter of fact i believe i wlil go ask that now..why not host are own guides..if we can host hq why not rsbandb ones as well?

A few additions for you:

1: Smart baracade areas

Baracades can block anyone, even those who have their flag and are trying to score for your team. However, there are some areas where it will not distrupt him as he runs to our base:
- Just before the downstairs direction stairs on the tower, the upper floor, and the spawn floor. When our flag capturer comes up, the baracades don't block him. Also have someone stand on it, so opposing flag stealers will be distracted even more.

NOTE: If you want to decend, use the trap door, the ladder, the energy barriers, etc. Not only do you have the advantage, but you can take your time because you're not the 'center of attention', as I call a lone Zamorakian in a Saradomin crowd.

- Before the upper cavern ladder. Opposing flag stealers like to use that as a last resort while our snare magi are on the wall, waiting to intercept. If you use the baracade there, it will give them some time to climb down and give chase, or at least get there in attempt to slay him at the ladder.
- I find more Zamorakian flag holders like to use the middle tower ladders to evade slaughter rather then Saradomin, so if you're on the Saradomin team, place baracades around those ladders. It will give the flag holder less room to run around and enable you to kill him faster. For those Zamorakians, I have NOTHING! BWA HA HA!
- DON'T Set up baracades in a square. Set them up in a diamond, because the corner ones won't accomplish much except another distraction while our flag holder tries to get away when they break through.

Remember, it's not a matter of holding our flag, it's a matter of stalling them from scoring.

2: Assist our flag capturer

Hitting the Zamorakian's behinds isn't going to help stop them hitting the flag capturer very much, so here are a few things you can do to help.
- Burn any baracades in his way. They're not going to attack you because they're too into attacking the flag capturer, so carry things like explosive potions in case they have a blockade up ahead or you have some idiots on your team.
- Stall the opposition. Cast snare spells, use the dragon spear special (It helps), or use an ice burst or something.
- Follow the flag capturer, and if all the opposition if behind you, don't hesitate to set up a baracade. It mkay stall them for 1 or 2 seconds, but at least they won't be hitting the flag capturer as much.
- Use bandaids on the flag capturer if he's coming your way. He needs them not only for hits, but also for energy if he's gonna keep running.
