Catapaulting FBs
« on: May 26, 2011, 11:30:41 am »
I have a quick question: Can flying FBs(and flying creatures in general) path through fortifications? I'm making a catapult proving ground as a way of training a cadre of siege operators, and if they take out the bad mofo flying gator fb, just gravy. But, I really have no military to speak of, so if he gets in I'm screwed!

This fort really does sit on the event horizon of madness and catastrophe

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

He won't be able to get through the fortifications. But it can shoot fire/toxins through the fortifications and into your fort.

There is a bug with partially submerged fortifications, when  enemies are squeezed through it by water, I observed that in my drowning chamber. This is not pathing, but this is a way they may get in involuntarily. Fully submerged fortifications are accessible (to swimmers at least) and it is not a bug. Noxious secretions are short ranged, but they can go through.
