Falling Combat
« on: April 05, 2011, 02:24:19 am »
Can dwarves fight enemies while their falling? Like if they are both next eachother and falling at the same rate and are always on the same z-level as eachother, can they fight? I have an awesome idea for ripping off Lord of the Rings. (Mines of Moria, Gandalf falls, fighting monster. Hopefully to be replicated with a Hammer Lord and a FB, in Adventurer. I'm actually just planning to recreate the entirety of LotR. It will be epic.  :P)

I wouldn't assume so, since you fall really really fast... then again I've never had long falls in adventurer...

Many more made tales in this hall,

An enemy none could stop or yield,
had taken over Insightshields.

Well... you might pull off one or two attacks (assuming it's possible) if you fall down from a space elevator, past *spoiler* and all the way down a

. The grey wizard's right leg takes the full impact of the fall! It explodes into gore! The grey wizards left leg explodes into gore!... ect.

Units that are falling are in a limbo where they cannot interact with anything until they finish falling. So no, they can't attack each other and nothing else can either.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.
