I just had my first birth in 39b.

A bonecarver was just having a nice drink in the stream when:
carver has given birth to a boy!
Carver cancels drink: seeking infant.
as I unpaused the game, I was astounded at the speed of the child getting away from it's parent.
I'm not sure if it flew, but it sure went fast.
about a screen worth away from the stream, in the direction of my entranceway.

Not sure this is a bug, normal baby behaviour when birthed or a temporary fix for babies drowning on birth or what.
funny to visualise though.

*pop* "Weeeeeeeeeeeh!"
Carver: "My baby! somebody catch it!"

I still say we need to be able to do separate defs for different age states....

the baby is called "shootknots"
if you can believe it and clothed entirely in watersmear for extra slipperyness.

I read the title and thought that somehow the baby got into a catapult and launched itself across the map.  My imagination was in full speed on that one.

I also had the impression the title was a quote from Rock'n'Roll racing.

[Areyar]

Indeed!

As in "Jake LAUNCHES himself!" and "One should AVOID mines!"

[Sean Mirrsen]

I used to play Katarina more. I also got through the entire game on an Air Blade, thanks to the mines, the boost, and the cornering bonus. Although it's sometimes like: "Kat is dominating the race! <bang> Kat should avoid mines!...  Kat looks lost out there!"
