Nice trick!

Most of the recent tricks use the POREX mine a lot, and it has created a gold mine of new tricks.

Very nice trick. Could prove useful... *saves instructions to notepad*

You can use the same trick on trees, forage bushes, statues, rocks (battering rams attacking rocks to make way!), and any other object that cannot be attacked by units.

Just when you think there's no more fish in the pond ,,,another one pops up .(pun intended) Isn't this the third one in the past 6 or 7 days ?? Good one , nice map shot too.

Nice shot DW!

Not bad DW.

Excellent!

POREX is great stuff! is there a sound associated with the hitting of the villager?

Actually in working, this trick would like the spearman is sticking his spear out over the pond.I'm not too sure how that would look like he's fishing.

During my play testing of Ingo's new campaign Chou Kung I was tasking villagers to fish with spears in a swamp and yes, there is sound associated with the villagers hitting (Welcome to AE/RoR).

J/K Dark_Warrior_1_ Nice screen shot, great trick, it is just amazing how many new things came up in the last couple of days. Your trick, Luke's and of course Philip with three new findings.

Edit: four

Great trick DW.

Quoted from Darkmaster:

LOL, but I don't think anyone else got that.

Good one, DW.

Nice

Grrr, where can I get these porex mines?

download the template... and use map copy to copy it to your map

Funny thing, I've done the porex= invisible villie trick before and the villie stayed invisible, but I tried it again, and the villager would immediately re-appear, and act like it had something to do but just sat there. (did not pick up an axe or pick fyi...) Should I check the AI? There are no triggers associated with it, well at least I know that I can't task the villager to any unit, just a place on the terrain. But the villager still seems to want to re appear. I created other villagers of in another corner so that they wouldn't try to use that villager as a scout, among other ideas, but to no avail. Any sugggestions?

BTW, add this one to the list: What I'm trying to do is make the villager be one of the targets in an archery range; if you find the right target it looks like the archer is shooting an exact bullseye!

@crasher

I had a same problem when doing this trick...

Oddly enough, for me the villager would re-appear for every player except when I had it set to player two. When it re-appeared it was only after reaching the designated point at which I had task it. Perhaps try switching the villager to a different player?

Maybe someone else has more information about this?

Nice trick, DW.

I've also had that problem, crasher, maybe trying out what DW said will help, haven't tried it out, though.

I got a question? is this for TC or AoK

TC.

DW and crasher:

The villager seeks to place the porex into a TC if one is present for that player position. Maybe this had something to do with why it worked or not in your described experience?

hmm..nice find.
