Body slam!

I can't help but noticing that you seem unable to throw your enemies properly in the newer versions.  Is this intended, or a bug?

The "throw" maneuver during wrestling simply drops your opponent to the ground where they stand whilst simultaneously stunning them temporarily.  This is how it has always worked IIRC.

And it's better than the take-down maneuver.  The critter stays down longer.

I love this bit in your sig.

Eating her tallow and carp.
Along came a spider
Who snuck up behind her
And ripped Miss Muffet apart.

WIth certain speed values, and certain creatures, in certain circumstances, it is possible to actually throw your opponent as you would throw an item, albeit without choosing a direction.
I once (or twice) had a harpy that passed out, and I got my turn to move while she was standing. I could throw her then, and she smashed against a tree and blew apart...

You should consider this part of my sig as well

By the way, what are the font size UBB tags?  I'm trying to make that little ditty about Miss Muffet take up less space, so I don't expand threads the way I currently do with this monster of a sig.


And it will be very nice when real throws are added into the game.  Wrestling on the edge of a cliff isn't nearly as fun until you've got the ability to throw someone off it.

And then jump on top of him.  This actually reduces fall damage, interestingly enough.

And the more flips you do, the more damage you do to them when you land on them.

Ooh.  Perhaps we could have Adamantine Golf Shoes, for jumping on.

For now, if you fall on creature you make no damage, but stun it.
