I found an... interesting... way of making units go sideways, backwards, diagonally etc. when walking. As with everything, it's more transform trigger stuff - but here's how it works. transform spiderdoor to a unit of your choice, and grant the spiders god power. Wait for the eggs to 'hatch' before your units appear. Now,when you use your units, they should obey the rotation their egg had, even when walking. this screenshot doesn't show it very well, but here are a group of fire giants, some walking backwards etc.

Don't know whether it works with anything else.

Nice discovery! Although the usage must be researched for but hope is always there

I was thinking for the carcinios crabby things, problem is you can't cast spiders on water.

You can cast it near water, and have the eggs transformed into calderias, then fly over the water, and transform into water units.

carcinos can be made on land but they won't move

Have you tried making buildings? IDK but maybe they would look skinny or some other weird thingy

I'll give it a go later. Screwed up my idea for a cool godpower though

Fire demons aren't known for going sideways... i got a repalceement though, which looks groovy.

Also, the buildings would be wuite cool because if you got near to them, a spider would come out and eat someone. Then the building would disappear. For some reason turning it into a unit cancels that.

Well, a long long time ago, this was resolved using a tilted Hades' Underworld Passge. Units that go in, are tilted when they come out, but no backwards move though.

Nice!

I like the idea of the crab... but hmmm... Too bad it won't work on land... It could be like the crabs in Pirates 3 lol..

=P

Good discovery though!

I get something like that when I change lightning scorch from lighting storm. However nice find since I didn't actually know this myself.
