Flaming arrows + wooden buildings

Do you people have fun only when you make a joke?!
Your link is broken...

 

Gaa I'm always in the lulz mood, but that's the same image anyways.

 

Geti was considering this and already made some art for this but I don't know if it's gonna happen. I think that a strong fire vulnerability is a good idea. I mean it would be pretty easy to limit the effects of fire by breaking up your wooden constructions with sections of stone. Say, make your corners out of stone.

 

+1
But again,what about ladders...We cant place stone between ladder parts.Also,would it spread left and right and not just up and down? i mean if it goes only in 2 directions than you could make ladders like this :

# #
# #
# or as most of people build them # every second part.
# #
# #

So when fire would spread only on blocks that are conected and would not reach the ones that are 1 block appart it could be done.

 

I don't like the idea of fire arrows at all. Unless it takes longer to charge, doesn't go as far, and perhaps an added inaccuracy factor, fire arrows may be op especially when spammed from across the map.

If you had a team of archers just spamming fire arrows from miles away, firstly, it would burn down most trees in the middle of the map. Second, Anything wooden will just disappear

So to be honest, I think fire arrows should not be included

 

ComJak - Fire arrows would cost resources to create, which in itself is time the team would have to dedicate from other misadventures that would be more useful.

 

How about the fire arrows extinguish at a certain distance, say over 80 blocks or so, that would prevent cross map barrages. And why not have fire arrows? wouldn't you love to catch one of these on fire and see it fall to earth like a meteor?

Edit: Additional Pylons constructed, Upgrades Activated.

 

If the devs put one of those in that would be fun. I just forsee a lot of abuse with the fire arrows. Its like how builders and just seal themselves in a mountain and no one can do anything about it.

I'm just a little skeptical

 

Moderator support or Mod "mod" support? How fun i'd have with modding this game, WW1, satrwars, starcraft, warhammer, warcraft, battleships, dogfights HHeeew makes me squingy thinking about the possibilities!

 

if hit add status fire which does 0.5 hearts damage 2 secs and can be put out by "water"?ofcourse the arrow will do only 0.5 damage on inpact to and no damage with weak shot.

 

I already imagine builders having to run to the nearest river to stop the fire from destroying the catapults and ladders :D

Also, another idea I stole from Stronghold Crusader : burning tar. Builders could produce tar (in Stronghold they take it from marshes) and fill holes with it or spread it on the ground. Then archers could set it on fire ! Muhahahaha !

 

Actually in Stronghold it is still Pitch so.. somebody needs to learn their vocabulary.
