While this would probably eat up FPS, the basic items needed to create napalm are already in the game. Bring back the alchemist lab to make it, allow stills to create some sort of flammable liquid, combine with one unit of wax from honey bees, one unit of oil, store in a glazed jug, and use it as a trap component! Or allow catapults to throw it, or use it to soak cloth to create crossbow bolts for flaming bolts. Wanna really piss off the hippies elves? Burn down the forest! See that goblin over there? Fuck him and everyone near him! Use it as fuel for smelting! The fun is endless!

Hmmm... flammable liquid that dwarves have in abundance... hmm..
Alcohol?

I do enjoy a good fire.

No, none of the things used to make napalm are in the game.

[dwarfhoplite]

we already have magma

[Funk]

the basics of alot of incendiary mixtures are in game.
any weapon trap to use liquid will need a little codeing.

No. Not only way napalm not around back then, it's also just silly and stupid to have it in the game.

If it's silly and stupid, it's perfectly Dwarven.

I thought some seiges were repelled with burning oil dumped down on the seigers.  I think Stronghold modeled this.  There were flaming moats in that game too.  I don't think its anachronistic for the time period.  People had already mastered fire for thousands of years.

moden napalm, no but there where a lot of fire based weapons a round in the ancient word.
crude flame throwers date back to 424 BC

That's seven. Plus a lot of punctuation.

Fixed it!

Does this argument remind anybody else of the Star Trek episode "The Arena"?

[sockless]

They used boiling oil, not burning, and that was because it held its heat better than water.

The burning pits are pits of pitch, which would be nice to add into the game, once a proper model of a fluid system that allows for more than 2 fluids, modelling miscibility and non-miscibility, as well as reactions between fluids and other fluids and solids (including walls). While we're at it, we could add in support for rudimentry chemistry

[antymattar]

Wait, napalm... doesn't ring a bell...O, you mean a sissier version of Lava?
