    Why have chickens make you glide when you could grab an (alive) fishy to swim fast underwater? Or maybe swim really fast while holding a shark? Just thought it'd be interesting to see since chickens almost make a knight fly while parachuting (unrealistic yet a neat feature).

    Well, as you can see with chickens... They make you fly so it would be crazy if fishes ( and sharks ) don't have a cool ability. ( It makes it realistic too :wink: )

    I don't think fish work the way you think they work, sharks either for that matter.

    Chicken makes at least some sense as they'd be fighting you to fly away, as well as some games have already established chicken gliding previously (and grabbing chickens above your head, like Zelda).

    Fish are friends, not food food, not friends. They're great for healing you and other teammates. Sharks are good for throwing into the enemy base, and watch them chomp on some delicious noobs. These are not meant for moving faster in water, nor do they make any sense in any video game universe I have ever seen.
    Also, from a balance perspective, if fish made you move faster in water, it would take away usefulness from boats.

    @Auburn Are you suggesting chickens are our friends? I'm not sure they take to kindly to you once you toss them onto a mine.

    You heartless monster! Chickens are vital collaborators to many successful base raids. They are to be treated with respect, and set somewhere quiet away from the fighting when finished using. Let me call in my favorite chicken activist here, @Landoo2
    Anyway I think this might be a fun feature, but maybe instead of making you swim faster forever, they give you one quick burst of speed (enough to escape from a slashing knight for example, but not to swim across an ocean). This will create an interesting new mechanic for water combat, while still keeping boats useful.

    Add farting. Problems for life are fixed.

    (The first thing I thought of. God I'm mature.)

    Knights rape anything in water with slashswim shit but on a balance standpoint, this seems to make our fishy friends slightly abusable. A instant fullheal and the ability to swim faster in water kinda screws over stuff.

    remove stacking, make them heal one heart? Or remove healing altogether and just make them speedboosts?

    How about just keeping them as is? And last I checked, fish don't stack anyways.

    shame on you... chickens are not just some object, they are a symbol of love and thats why we need to let them life far away of the battle, und just to use them for special combats, like flying over the whole map, @Sir_Walter
    but in my opinion the mission has failed if the chicken dies, so i think we are now at henry MDCLVI ( thats a number )
