kamikaze?
« on: 6 June 2006, 09:51:10 »
Hi!

An idea I had after raiding AI with firebreathing cattle (thanks for the idea, whoever it was  ;) ), I thought this could be inserted in the game in a less unorthodox way... Let workers/initiates build some kind of gathering hall in which they can research "kamikaze attack"... With that upgrade, you can promote cows/pigs/mages/workers/... to kamikaze units with dynamite around their waist! (maybe let technodrome research "chemistry" first as well)

Problem is, how can I "self-destruct" the units after they go off? The detonation itself shouldn't be too hard, set the max distance to 1, with a big splash, and there you are.

edit... hmm, I could just make the time between two attacks pretty long so the unit will be killed anyway...

If you have a splash damage, there is a value called "damage-all value = true" which should make the splash affect your kamikaze, i think. It can be found in the "skill" section of the xml file, there must be an under-section called "splash".
  Yesterday I lost 3 archmages, cause they fired at a swordman attacking them and they got hit by their own splash.
Should work with kamikaze as well, i think, if the blow is strong enough.

kamikaze pigs proved to be succesfull - in other words: soon there will be slow but extremely powerful units willing to sacrifice themselves after you've built a "religious center" and researched "fundamentalism" ^^ lol

Don't forget to let the explosion hit air units also...
