Poison

*Mhm. if you are infected and you suicide is the same as if whatever kills you, so, it doesnt make the weapon weaker cause it forces you to take an extreme decision. And would be a bad idea if the devs think to add the "tickets" rule again like in classic.
*If the poison stills in the place would be more easy to spamming: People throw a lot of bombs in their flags/halls so no enemy cand stand for take it. Or just deleting portions of the map to move in, making it less playable.
But i dont think it's totally negative. It could be fun as a tag-game infection mod.

In another way i think it would really fun to contaminate objects and throw it to the enemy base.

Spoiler

I remember when i had "BLACK and WHITE" game. there was a stage where the food of your people is poisoned and you have to destroy it, but i grabbed it and throwed to the towns i didnt conquer already to kill enemy god's people so i can make him weaker. It was fun to watch an entire town die slowly, turning green with *cough* sounds, and then turn into skeletons.

Would be nice if can permanently poision animals like fish, or food as hamburgers ...damn, even corpses and throw it with your cata.
Contaminating corpses:
I just realized that you can put things in the corpse's backpack.
So, what do you think about putting the hypothetical posion bomb in it, then the corpse get green and it works like a normal mine but when an enemy stomps it (if he doenst destroy it from a little distance) it blows up without the pushing explotion but with the same poisoned gas as the bomb.
I think it could be very fair and fun cause, c'mon, how many complete dead bodies you can find?
What do you think? would be difficult to make/use?

 

Wow, such good ideas. Kinda like what @ZeldaMarioDude proposed.
I didnt said anything about hitting both teams because it could open a debate if it could be used for intentionaly team killing.
But i think it deeply and the fact is that you can't ever avoid mean players, or just bad ones. The game cant take charge of everything, we, players, must take some part of the responsibility of playing decently and dont make stupid things.
What i think should the Poisoned Arrow as you said:

• If hits directly: arrow damage + infection . One target , no dispersion.
• If hits ground: arrow stays as a destructible object + harming green fog (4x4)= Hurt both teams if where inside of the area, no infection.
• The arrow in the ground could be destroyed by everyone to end the gas release.

*Im not sure what AoE means... i only could find it as "Age of Empires" (?)

 

I say no to arrow in ground producing fog, thats too strong. Just have it damage over time. Also AOE means area of effect

 

I think this:
green gas_arrow Tiles: 4x4 in ground, 2x4 if horizontaly in wall. Hurts anyone of both teams if where inside of the area, no infection. Lasts 10 seconds
It should only lasts 10 seconds and would have short "aoe". It wouldn't poison, just harm...mmm 1/4 hearh each 2 seconds? if you think, it wouldnt be powerful. Just one additional weapon

 

Well, if you say so. By the way, what's OP... something like "over powered"? because some guy toldme that is "original poster"

 

No, you cannot have a arrow that would make a trap, it would just be too good. Unless it costed as much as a bomb arrow or something.

 

Yes, i like that. It seems more fair and unpredectible.

M... i dont share your point. Same thing could be sayied of the mines, for builders and archers are difficult to destroy in some way (knights can just shield it and let it explode) and only costs 80 coins.
Bear in mind that the hypothetical arrow could be destroyed with one jab, two strikes of the builder, one shoot or two of the archers. Lasts only 10 seconds (if 1/4 of damage each 2 secs = one heart and a quarter if you stay the whole time!) i dont think that it sounds strong. Anyways, until we try it in a server, we cant know if it is or not.

 

Wow, thanks. Glad there're many nice people in here

 

Poison is a nice idea, but I wonder ... nobody suggested that before?

if I ever have the time and passion for modding, I think im going to add poison to my initial idea of the samurai mod I want to do. Poison as a coating for the katana and maybe as upgrade for smokebombs.

Code:

short Overview "Samuraimod"
-Samurai as 4th class
-Weapon: Katana
-Items: Smokebomb from bombshops, coating from coatingshop
Attacks:
*Lclick- fast cuts (short distance)
*Rclick- slow thrust (higher distance)
*Lclick hold- do a slash while moving fast in the direction (more chargin= more distance, more dmg )
Coatings : (for temporary improvments)
-poison for either preventing enemy restoring health or doing slowly extra dmg

 

I like to see this item and water arrow/boom become one new item.
Also this can make more people go eat hamburgers. XD

 

I would do it by myself before my holidays ends, but i dont know anything, and i also tried to add a war animal mod (an elephant) with no succsess. (I tried over and over to understand the ulegible codes from the .as files and i cant make anything new). Id just changed the bison sprite... :(

 

I love poison.

 

but now it just seems be buried

 

How much does the green gas arrow damage you by? Does water neutralise the effects?

 

Poison bombs doing damage through shields is not a great idea. Knights already hate that water bombs can stun them through a shield, but a radial explosion of poison gas that does damage even if you block? They would be really, really upset.

I like the idea in general, but people will rage at it if damage goes through shields.
