Continental supplies

Continental supplies is a style created by the Hedgewars user Vatten. It's distributed with the game. It has some new scripted weapons and broad spectrum of tactic possibilites.

Goal

Wipe out all enemy teams.

Continents

Each player can choose one continent for their team in the first turn. This decision is final.

Each continent has an initial set of weapons and utilities, and some continent have continental and weapon specials. The continent also determines the hedgehog starting health.

Selecting a continent

In the first round, each player selects a continent. Moving and attacking is not possible in the first round.

Players choose one of multiple continents by selecting it from the ammo menu or by cycling through the contintents with the [Switch hog] key.

The continent description of the current team can be reviewed via the mission panel during the game. The continent of each player is also shown in the team bars.

The continent selection is confirmed when a continent is selected and the Attack key is pressed.

If the player fails to select any continent in the first turn or skips without any selection, a random continent is chosen.

Weapon specials

Some weapons have 1 or more special modes, specific to the team's continent, which make the weapons behave differently.

They can be enabled by selecting the main weapon first, and then pressing the [Switch hog] key to choose one of the special weapon modes. You can always switch back to “normal” mode where the weapons behaves normally, no special weapon behaviour is used then.

Although weapon specials belong to specific continents, they can be used by all continents.

Sabotaged hedgehogs

With a weapon special from Kerguelen, hedgehogs can be sabotaged. Sabotaged hedgehogs will emit red smoke and during their turn, they receive 2 damage every few seconds until the turn ends, unless they are invulnerable. They also suffer under a massively increased gravity.

Thus, a sabotaged hedgehog lives a dangerous life and should move quickly.

Sabotage can by healed by using the European special “Medicine” or by collecting a health crate. Sabotage also goes away when the sabotaged hedgehog has completed its turn.
