Add knockback to large explosions

[tranquil tangle]

No

I know how tempting it is but no

[keen urchin]

Yea it's amazing.
But surely you'd have a better reason than that?

[worldly patio]

let's just say big impulse bad

[keen urchin]

Why?

[proud sky]

I will build an afus, put the army far enough that it doesn't die, self d afus and launch the army into your base

[keen urchin]

Yeah, and your army will be dead.

Units big enough to survive obviously shouldn't be affected.

For example, the knockback effect could be added to the explosions, instead of the dying units. But debris flying all over the place would be cool too if course.

[gritty ocean]

you misunderstand, the damage and impulse are different stats

if you increase either weird things happen

too much damage? no rez left behind

too much impulse? bug abuse

[proud sky]

It won't be dead, and it won't matter if it's 0 hp, because backline never has any defences and you just need to kill 1 converter or few nanos for it to be worth it

[keen urchin]

Whatever. Just make it a purely graphical effect then.

I mean, did you ever see the flying head of a blown up grunt kill a converter? No? Because body parts don't do any damage.

[keen urchin]

There's already no wrecks left behind, currently.

I don't know, did you guys really read my suggestion?
It results in no changes whatsoever to which units receive which damage.
And it results in no change whatsoever to the positioning of any units that are alive after the big explosion.

[gritty ocean]

no?

[keen urchin]

No

[gritty ocean]

ive had 3 afus det and one was still rezable

you are just wrong lol, experimentally wrong

[keen urchin]

Yes, the one that was killed by attacking units left a wreck. But the Afus that were killed by an explosion from another Afus don't leave wrecks.

[gritty ocean]

im not 100% on that

ive had units kill and afus and had 3 blow up next to it

and i still had a wreck?

[keen urchin]

Yeah 1 wreck, not 3

From the units no

[gritty ocean]

its weird, thats all i know lol

[keen urchin]

But whatever, it doesn't matter. As it's not something I suggest to change

[proud sky]

your suggestion says "should knock smaller units out of the way.". Not "should knock dead units out of the way"

[tranquil tangle]

There is already enough flying wrecks occuring during a match

And heaps aswell
For some reason they go everywhere with some help

[keen urchin]

.. "as they explode"
