I remember a Kruggsmash video where he tried to create a trap like that (which failed). Could that be it? Or is it too recent?

I could be wrong myself, of course.

You can make support based traps that are triggered by building destroyers, e.g. by having a fluid behind a door. Once the door is destroyed the fluid flows out onto a pressure plate that triggers the collapse of the support.

Holy shit, is that actually you Kruggsmash?

Well, you did indeed post about the Holy Shovels, so that could very well be possible.

Also, I have nothing against you (I am actually quite a big fan), but there was that one trap in Steelclutches with the supports in the Great Green Hall that was intended to bait the trolls. Though of course I absolutely loved that series, and all the other series you've made.

I feel obligated to ask: second season when?  :P

I tried it recently and they ignored it.

I always remember using a lever to drop the thing, but I came in 2011
