falling riders and mounts
« on: January 30, 2012, 02:18:53 pm »
So I read somewhere that if a unit falls, however far, and lands on another unit, it will be unharmed. Is this true? and how does that work with mounts and riders? they fall together, one lands top of the other, possibly? or they both splatter?

Not sure, the easiest way would be to test us and then see what happens. My guess would be that they both would splatter though, since I'm fairly certain that the catching creature needs to actually be standing on the ground and not classified as "falling" when it tries to perform the catch.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

They both go splat together. Find a goblin with a flying mount, shoot the mount, watch both splat.

yay, gobbo go splat

about 13 z-levels should kill anything. For trap avoid, I also have a collapsible part. Flying FB might be a problem

There was a science thread some time ago, and 9 z lvls is the guaranteed death threshold for goblins. Armour raises this threshold.
