mwaf Guest	Why did my volks die instanty? I few days ago I played a 2v2 in which I sent a squad of volks (with 4 members, decent health) into a building, then a flame-engineer does a mini-flame and all the volks in the building die instantly. Why? Does anyone have an explanation for this?

CrashTest Guest	All of the probable and variatabe numbers just happened to have lined up for that one creating the perfect kill I guess.

They do some damage normally (more to weapon's crews) but if they don't score criticals straight away then the rest of the flame blast isn't going to do much until the next flame cycle. The better the cover the worse you are against a flamer. Buildings being the worst and open roads and water being the best. __________________ -- "I do not have to tell you who won the war.

Ordas Guest	Perhaps that building area is cursed. As a giant coincidence, my friend and I were just testing something out in those buildings yesterday. Place an MG squad in the left building and a volks squad in the right. In about 1 burst, the MG squad will wipe out the volks squad. They seem to just line up at that window and die.

nagesco Guest	ive done it to another guys rifles with my volks i set the volks to faust just as his rifles had entered a building and then at the instance between the rifles leaving the map and entering the building they were hit by the faust and were all killed instantly.r

Ordas Guest	interesting... So you're suggesting that perhaps they were all "spawned" on the inside of the building at the same spot, then were hit with something hard before spreading out and insta-died. If you could get that micro down... that's be a GREAT way to use the 50 munitions.

MacBryce Guest	Your Volks died because the random numbers behind the game all pointed in that direction. Get over it. The game wouldn't be interesting if every action had a 100% predictable reaction.

mwaf Guest	I think this case is on the limit of what should be random and what not. A game is not interesting if a big enough coincidence can beat anything (Militia beating Bomber in Civ1 FTL :-).

Mistenth Member Join Date: Oct 2006	The militia swung their swords, causing a air compression, and the resultant pressure wave just happened to push a moderately sized angular rock into the jet intake of the bomber, causing it's engine to flame and crash to the ground. Likewise, all 4 volks just happened to have elevated blood pressure, and the heat from the flamethrower caused fluid expansion in the volks' blood vessels just as the high pressure blood was in the heart, causing all 4 volks to die of a rupturing heart.

mwaf Guest	Mistenth, best explanation so far =).
