Walls!!

[Delphin]

currently the walls can be joined to another wall only from 4 directions. Because of that, there is a restriction in base design. We cant really make triangles and pentagon, hexagon kind of shapes. We can make only square and rectangles in the current setup..

it would be really cool if the walls can be joined from all 8 directions.

Who says you can't be nice to your attacker and have a trianglar base, but anyways no because a good base doesn't look like anything.

You can and can't make triangle bases? and also you don't really need a shape for a base unless you are trying to draw a human with your base, which is stupid

if the distance between adjacent squares is 1, then the distance between diagonal squares will be 1.41 (root 2). So you would actually stretch the walls and get more length by building diagonally.

Yes but long story sort, why change rules that are already fine?

the typo corrected. I guess you have not played the game enough to see the point in my post. You cant diagonally join walls which makes it difficult to design a ring type base without wasting few extra walls..

My point is, when you're trying to join two blocks diagonally, you have to arrange the walls in a zig zag manner to get it done. costing us few extra walls.

No offense, but is there any point to this, except making your base look like something

None Taken.
If you look at below image, the base designer wasted 3-4 extra walls while finishing his base diagonally on all the four sides. If we could join the walls diagonally he could've got 12 free walls which can be used somewhere..

Which is why this idea will never fly. You're basically asking the walls used diagonally to be the equivalent of 1.5 of a wall, as it negates the center piece and expands the walls to make the connection.

I don't think Supercell would approve of this. You could possible double your wall defenses, or at least increase it by 50%, if you use all diagonal layout. Then you'll find problems with building structures and square angles?

It's a grid system and this system won't be changed for a while.
