pitch/oil

Hello

couldn't find this on the forums yet, and this maybe just best for a modder to add in...,but i was thinking about pitch, delicious black highly flammable pitch!

I was thinking this could be placed by builders on blocks, similair to spike placement, and then ignited by fire arrows/fire(/ even bombs?). The cost would be pots of pitch which could be purchased at a (builder)shop.

I think this would go great in a game when people are playing the Siege game mode(AKA Stronghold, attack and defense).

cheers all, seasonal greetings

 

hmmm google search is slacking//

 

yes, it would be great to have a official defense drops but for now just drop spikes onto enemies, it does loads of damage.

 

this would be awesome... if you would put the oil into a bucket and.... then you splash it on enemys

 

Or maybe give it to the archers to chuck (vials of oil that is). Then they can use it as CC, cover an area in oil people will be less likely to tread there or with great skill both cover and ignite your enemies. obviously it would work much like the fire arrow on a single target just to (potentially) multiple.

The offensive applications are really good too, scale enemy tower oil the entrance on there side and start a fire. your knights then have more freedom to bring it down.

With any luck this will increase the use of fire arrows water buckets and giving builders another issue to deal with.

I also wouldn't object to the idea of flaming boulders. if for nothing but pure aesthetic value.
