This is my first hold so i probably made a lot of mistakes, if you see any please tell me.

The hold itself has 5 smallish levels.

There won't be a story but there is a setting.

Edit: Hold is done should be on the holds board soon.

Actually i messed up on 2S, i have fixed the problem now, but can you explain what you mean about being able to kill a goblin right away?

Here's a demo for 1N. I guess the intended solution is to use the golem and both goblins. But the room is also possibile with the golem and one goblin.

There's been a small update with a couple of fixes, but no extra rooms yet.

Next update will have at least 1 more floor (maybe more) and it should be done by Thursday. (probably Wednesday though)

I suggest to post a new reply if you have a big update since I casually saw that you edited the main topic with a new version.
Anyway, I've played the previous rooms and they seem ok, though FotWT 1N is harder now and doesn't really fit as the first room in the hold (which is also necessary to continue) IMO.

As for FotWT 1 north, i could return it to its old state and put this version in a secret room.

I put the hot tiles in 1 south 1 north to try and prevent that solution, ill see if i can fix it.

Gentryii room and the exit room will be changed next release.

Edit: Just realized i didn't mention what solution "that solution" is, the intended solution is the first one you listed, just filling the room with roaches is unintended.

The next floor (Trunk of the World Tree) is finished, apart from fixing any unintended solutions.

The last of floor three was finished too.

Since this is my first hold and i'm the one building it, i can't really tell how easy/hard a room is, if something seems too easy or too hard please tell me.

The final floor is done, all thats left now is to fix any unintended solutions, and replace some of the bad rooms with better ones.

I have changed some rooms i considered bad, to hopefully better ones, i'm gonna spend some time testing every room for unintended solutions, then i'm gonna send it in.

If you want me to change a specific room before then, tell me and i probably will.

I've gone and fixed everything i could find, I will send it in later today if nothing goes wrong.

Edit: On second though, there are a few rooms I should probably change before I send it in.

I've gone and added a chest to each of the rooms i'm considering changing, but i have an unusual sense of fun, and as such i'm not sure whether these rooms i've marked are actually unfun or not.

So barring a couple i know are unfun most of them i'm not sure about, could i get some input on these rooms?

Edit: Updated to the latest version, this one has most, if not all of the changes i wanted to make, but i still need to do some more testing.

That'll be done some time early tomorrow.
