Magic Box Tutorial
A design originally thought of by Lord Yoshi, the magic box is an excellent little design feature.
 |
Step 1. Place wooden wall as shown in the example making sure that the gap between the two parallel walls is smaller than the length of a wooden gatehouse. |
 |
Step 2. Build a gatehouse over the wooden wall at the end of the U and delete any extra palisade wall, but do not delete the 3 pieces of wooden wall either side of the gate, that will cause the whole gate to be destroyed. |
 |
Step 3. Place towers over the wooden walls to either side of the gatehouse. |
 |
Step 4. Delete the two towers and the finished magic box is there to be seen. It still operates exactly the same as a normal wooden gatehouse. |
This picture designed by Lollard shows how the magic box can be used in a map. Sometimes a more simple gate looks much more effective and can be used in much smaller spaces.
