New Unit - Powder Keg 5-4-2012

[Vuldacon]

Want to Blast your Enemies into little bits? This Powder Keg can answer your call.

Balthasar wanted a Powder Keg for his Western MOD and I found a use for it in EFZI2 Complete as well... perhaps some of you can find a use for it too

This Unit is Intended to be set with Cruise Missile Settings for best use.

I love it. I'll check the sounds later.

You could do something similar for depth charges… a cylinder dropping from a ship into the water and *pluuushshh* *booom!*

 

[Ozymandias]

Very cool

a very usefull unit, would you have any plans for a russian wheel of fire - used in defending fortified positions and breeches - basically a dismantled wooden mill wheel stuffed with incendiary device and rolled on the slope of the fort towards advancing enemies....what do you say???

I love it. I'll check the sounds later.

Everything sound nice, too.

Thanks... this in intended as a VERY simple unit to serve as an explosive but thought some of you might also have a use for it.

Sometimes simple units are easier to use than more complex units

Very nice one and a very original concept! You're the Master in this kind of stuff. Very well done

Very cool Vuldy. I don't think I'll have a use for it in Modzilla, but I can't wait until Goldrush! or EFZI2 come out, glad to see you add to those

Yes, please!

Sweet! Classic villain unit for sure... As soon as I saw this, the old song, "Along Came Jones" by the Coasters started running through my head (Down in the old abandoned mine, sweet Sue was havin' fits: That villain said, "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch, I'm gonna BLOW you all to bits!")

 

[Ozymandias]

... I'm thinking "Range=1" "cruise missile" ...

 

[Takhisis]

Or as a defensive unit produced at cities, much like the earlier Greek Fire. In fact, you could have Greek Fire from the late Ancient Age/early middle Ages on and then have it be replaced by Powder Kegs halfway through the Middle Ages, then perhaps replace it with… landmines?
