Make fire the new cancer

Precisely this is about shops, and burning them. Seriously, firearrows are basically useless against shops which is really bad, because even though all the backwall behind the workshop becomes flame, embers and cinder, the shop itself somehow survives. It's really a pain in the ass when I'm dying over and over to set that fucking base on fire and when I do it burns wildly and gives a popcorn-worth look... But nothing more, really. Obviously, it is reasonable that the shop won't burn when it's stone-backwalled, but if it's not, it kind of makes no sense.

Do me a favor and try not to notice this shittery in my tongue, I'm somehow really tired.

 

Tried to picture this from the builder class. And with that in mind I think a shop should burn with a fire arrow even if there's stone back walling.

In this scenario a builder is punished in leaving his/her shop exposed enough to be hit with a fire arrow; yet rewards them as their stone structure is not burnt down and can be reused.

Moral of the story from this would be protect your shops from enemy access/damage and don't build the protection purely from wood.

Both good behaviours to instil into new builder players I think right? :)

 

But... The shop is made of wood; tons of it! Why shouldn't it burn? The stone back wall would stay and keep the rest of the structure from collapsing, but the shop itself is totally wood.

 

If there's some wooden blocks touching the shop , then I have nothing against your idea . It's punishing the builder and teachs him to protect the shops .

 

This should be fine as long as it doesn't burn tunnels because that kinda doesn't make sense

 

Isn't this a bug report?

 

good point, obviously, the stone-type workshops like tunnel and storage should be fireproof
