Sweet discovery!

Thanks Strife Shadow.

Ya welcome

3 years... damn it, 3 years and we still get this...

Here, tell our parents this happens and we can slack on homework because we are so smart! lol. That would be awsome, but it would never happen. Lol.

Good job, Strife. Be sure to write a small article about it.

Oh, ill be SURE to right an artical about it!! Man this must realy be interesting to everyone! thx!

*is bored and feels like replying to his post*

Nice... can you do this with other buildings as well?

I dont beleive you can do it with other buildings. docks, and if you can ships, are the only things with rubble after being destroyed that sinks. Its the part that the rubble sinks and it looks like quiksand. Great idea though.

Hm... I wonder if there's a way we could get boats onto a sandy terrain?

MAYBE i know a couple secrets about getting sea units on land... (no not realy i just felt like saying that lol)

Heh... well, you can use the extra large shores that shallows create.

The only problem with using the land dock, is that the quicksand will only fall once...

Yes, but the point is when the hero sees it it does it once, and the hero says like "AH! quicksand stay clear!" and you would only need it once to represent it. But of course if you had a large area... You could have multiple ones spaced apart and wen they are seen kill them and multiple sinking. And wen you do the condition objest visible and effect kill object, you wont see the dock!

Yes, but you can't re-create a land dock, so as to create the effect of constantly sinking sand. I'm kind of into the constantly improving stuff stuff.

Im sure someone will figue out how to recreat land docks. (Oh, i love trying to improve stuff to, lol)

Sweet Scenario trick!! Thanks a lot, Strife Shadow!
But how am I supposed to do the Dock on Land trick?

-Andan

There may be different ways, but i simply place a dock on water and slowly an patiently close in the land arround it, and eventualy it will be on land. Tell me if yoy have a different way.(i need an easyer way)

Well, see - you can't re-create a land dock with triggers - which is why ships would make it much more convenient.

damn, I didn't think of this tho I saw it before!

great trick Shadow.Why dont you try placing ships on top of a single tile of water and then hide the water by placing paths,flowers etc and then sink the ship(in the case of paths,it will look like the ship is sinking in mud.

Yeah, that would work! Ok my Sinking Sand, and your sinking mud!

Actualy you improved my idea Cknchaos! How bout we bothe take the credit for creating quicksand and "Quick mud"! Those paths and reapering ships could do great!The paths can also represent sand.

Cknchaos, ive messed up my signature could you give me the BB code for the color text you have?

go have a look in the thread that you started for this.

Using "Path 4" very close together, and an assortment of Flowers - mostly hidden so that you don't make it look like grass, remember not to use the Flower Beds unit, though...

This looks far more like sinking sand, than Dirt 1 etc. I wouldn't recommend making large areas of it, rather make it fairly small. I don't think the map would look very good if you had large areas of blank stuff - even if it is a lot of sinking boats on mud and flowers.

You just gave me a great idea thank you.

I finnaly got my signature fixed

As i stated before, it does look like mud & sand so this is now Strife Shadow's & Cknchaos's Quick Mud & Sand. Please if you use this give credit to both of us.

TOP!
