Mortar for builders

It will be too much XD ballista will become a tank XD

 

Bu

But they had mortar cannons back in the 1700's and even the 1400's had primitive mortars. Hmm.. There should be a 1700's colonial add-on mod with muskets and blunderbusses! I'm getting carried away now aren't I?

 

You are getting carried away.

As far as KAG Beta is, a complete overhaul is possible, but the issue is, "Is it going to be worth to work*man*hours", and "Is it going to be fun"

 

Of course it will be fun! The mere sight of a battery of those things blasting away at enemy towers is an epic one to behold. I'm a programmer too, so I understand that it would be hard to code something like this, but I think it will be worth it.

 

Resprite ballista and ammo - profit. There you go. You have your mortar.

 

I don't want to make a mortar out of ballista.
I will make a separate object for builders to carry.

 

Everytime someone mentions mortar I think of operation metro rush spawn camping, where 3 guys are in the back getting mortar kills and have the time of there life.

I like the idea, but its one of those things that you really want that doesn't get implemented because its "different"

 

I'm currently trying to make a mortar like item for the builder (I used your sprites as a template) but I can't see a way to restrict it to be builder only.

 

You do understand that those sprites are copy righted.

 

I'm pretty sure that I said that I used them as a template.
My sprites just use the same colours.

 

mortar wont be like bomb arrows, it will be more powerful. and it will be harder to aim. it will have a really big curve

 

i do like this idea very much, i would be happy if it was only able to be used by builders, it should be a medium range weapon to short ranged, the idea of a mortar being able to shoot from long distances bothers me... um i kind of feel a mortar bomb producing a minikeg explosion is op concidering the ballista already exists and come on a ranged keg? so i think it should be 5 to 6 blocks of damage- depending on where the mortar specifically lands. in the end it seems really good and would add to the teamwork aspect of the game while giving builders a really good role in the game besides towers and what not. also it should be able to mount onto only the warboat in replacement of the mounted bow.

 

first of all mortar is not a mountable weapon, second, mortar will shoot on a REALLY high curve. it will take 1 space in the BUILDER's inventory and ill be one shot thing, not like mounted bow, ONE SHOT that's it after that the factory will produce ONE more mortar , in ctf it will cost the same as keg.

 

oh i see. ok yea that makes more sense :3
