Hedgewars is really missing a sort of concrete donkey weapon. I think I've got an idea. It would come in to varieties: the Mini Rubber bomb, and the Rubber bomb. The basic idea is a ball that once launched bounces all over the map, causing an unthinkable amount of damage and ruining the map. Unlike the donkey, it can bounce right and left (depending on the angle of the terrain), so it becomes almost unpredictable were it would end up. It bounces until it falls into water, or until the timer runs out (I'd say 5-10 seconds will be reasonable). You can control the bounciness with keys 1-5 (just like the grenade timer).
The mini rubber bomb should be launched like a buzzuka and should be smaller and weaker, and the rubber bomb should be launched like mine strike.
I hope you would like this idea, and please tell me what you think!!

Umm, no. Causing alot of damage, maybe, but not TONS of damage, or it'll be somewhat overpowered and unfair. Wink Smiley

Super weapons are supposed to be unfair... here is a video of how unfair the concrete donkey from worms is (the rubber bomb is based on the donkey) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TUSr4GNHjNc

I know exactly how te concrete donkey works, I used to practically live in Worms Armageddon, but there was some fairness in it, you could only get a set width of the map. this Rubber ball however has more potential to destroy the whole entirety of the map. Wink Smiley
It's just my opinion on the situation though. Smile

I thought the rubber bomb as a mix of a donkey and the Armageddon...

This kind of weapon will be much more managable when we get to play with the bigger maps Smile If such a rubber ball existed, it could have maybe a limited number of bounces before bursting, and on a bigger map it is less likely to cause stupid amounts of distruction.

There's no reason why these kinds of weapons can't be discussed and considered, one man's fun is another man's fury Wink Smiley And if you don't like them, turn them off in the weapons settings Big Grin

Tiy ur so predictable. Like 3yo kid, lol. And I won't edit that crap, cause speaking to an asshole makes me one.

haha, I love it - trying to "rise above the flame war" and avoid a topic that doesn't interest you by, wait, posting more messages! Smile

And give Tiy some credit, he's at least 5...
