The goal is to find an area where the ocean is quite deep, like the underwater trench that Hai2joo found. Find an area deep enough so that you use up all of your air just as you reach the entrance. Make the top of this structure several layers thick so that in order to flood it an enemy would need to lose massive amounts of health + run out of air to get through each layer; making them very vulnerable.
You could even push this idea further and pick a depth that requires you to sacrifice a certain percentage of health to reach. Most would-be attackers would be weary of going down that far to reach an entrance when they don't have full health and don't know what awaits them.

What if you wanted to enter or exit this base? Make a secret entrance?
Yeah, you could go two directions with this. Either make it essentially invisible to anybody, even those who are swimming across this chunk of the lake/ocean and are looking for it or you could opt to add insult to injury to other people by making it blatantly visible with a clear entrance. Since it would be so deep, it would be a gamble on the person seeking to go down as far as the entrance, since they would be out of air. You could take this a step further and have a fake entrance where they think "oh finally, there it is" and they'll hastily swim into a flooded false chamber and die before they have time to swim back up or find the real entrance. :smile.gif: Fun stuff.

Unless you for some strange reason didn't place a land-claim flag in your base or somehow aren't positively swimming in excess gold, nobody would be able to flood it, period, even if it was one block below the surface.
You could just bring a bunch of food with you and heal while drowning indefinitely...
Notch could make it so you can't eat while drowning. After all, the last thing you'd be able to do while taking in lungfuls of water is eat a pork chop.

Very true. I could see some sort of a leather air pouch item or something that gives you one more breath though.
So a land-claim flag is going to make it impossible for anyone other than yourself/faction to destroy blocks within a certain radius?
If so, imagine this...
A huge underwater network of torch-lit glass domes...GAHH

I wouldn't pee my pants.
I would explode them with a fiery explosion of ****.
Meh, I'd rather wait for pumps, then we can have those pump out the water of the structures we build underwater. This just seems so griefable for the amount of work it would take.

I'm so excited for multiplayer...

But I agree, no eating while drowning.

Good luck getting the arrows to move through the water at all.
This. And hopefully there will be some loot that'll just sink right down to you. :smile.gif:
I like the way this guy thinks. 8-)
