This idea is probably pretty stupid, but bare with me here.
My idea is based off of real life. I mean if I was to build my own mortar and shoot at some rabbits, but the stone happened to pass through some crows then wouldn't they also get hurt?
Well, this means that if a mortar is targeting Giants, and the stone passes through some balloons or a drag, then they get hurt too. It won't be much damage.
Damage levels:
10 dps - balloons, Minions
15 dps - Dragon, Lava Hounds, etc...
What do you have against Rabbits?
Nothing. I had a mind wipe and couldn't come up with a small animal. Sorry. Then I saw a rabbit outside. But do you like the idea?
no the splash damage from a mortar comes from the impact on the ground, doesn't make sense for it to hurt air troops, unless they blocked the shot somehow, but then it wouldn't reach its target anyway
Either the mortar projectile would be engulfed by the air troop and the troop would take damage, or the projectile would continue its current coding and pass through air units if they were invisible.
No what I mean is that if its goes up, passes through some air troops in the way down, wouldn't it hurt them? I mean, a Minion might get completely knocked out of the air? Or a balloon might be pierced with it creating a hole?
Good point Knighthawk, but a balloon can't just 'block' a huge flaming stone. It would either catch fire, and fall or get damaged.
Hey, I like too hunt rabbits too. Except I do it with a gun instead of a mortar haha.
Thanks for voting. I see that those who did vote want some tweaks. I am sad to see that no one gave any ideas to fix my idea. Some feedback would be appreciated because I would like to see this implemented, but only if the end product is good and SC likes it. So please give some helpful criticism.
1. Mortars fire low arcing shells. They don't go high enough for air troops.
2. They wouldn't hurt. They would bounce off dragons and lava hounds, maybe tip the balloon if it hits it (mortar shell doesn't go fast enough to cause significant damage), and minions are about as big, if not bigger than the mortar shell, so it would probably get stunned a bit if hit, but no damage.
3. Balloons would get engulfed in flames. By that logic lvl 3/4 archers should set balloons on fire. Plus, it can't poke "holes". If you chuck a huge rock at someone, chances are they wouldn't get any "holes". Plus, as mentioned earlier, it moves too slow to cause any damage.
