Would definately prefer some epic battles than a small extra to the game. Sick of the armies with like 100 men on screen-thats not a real war, just a gang war.

unless of course the bodies have collision damage XD troll picks up a soldier and throws him into your formation and it takes out a good number of them through the collisions and their subsequent collisions

I could do something *kind of* like that with unit scripting relatively easily, actually.

Have the ogre play pick up animation, make unit play being picked up animation. Then remove the unit, create a projectile with the unit's graphic, and have the ogre throw the projectile. Give the projectile low accuracy and high splash damage.

Besides the animation work, not too hard.

whats not to get? the way he explained it is so simple an idiot could understand XD the hardest part of that for me is the fact i have no knowledge on scripting XD and the fact of the lack of such animations XD

[LiTos456]

Yeah I know.
I hope you add it, because that would be a fun thing to watch :P

Why not just script it yourself when the game comes out?
