special abilities?

[Samurai Squirrel]

i remember reading something about units having special abilities & finishing moves, but i found no info on the units page... will the info be added later? or maybe those units haven´t got any? or will it remain a seeeecret?

[Julian]

Yes, some special abilities will be detailed later. As for finishing moves, it wouldn't really sense listing them on the website. They're not a feature manually triggered by the player and it also depends on what kind of enemy you're fighting. We, however, may or may not show some of them as part of a video at some point.

i think i know 3- brontosaur stomp, t rex eat and tree smash. i know i am properly wrong but anyhows.

[Neox]

the brontosaur didn't exist, so there is no brontosaur stomp :P

[Carnosaur]

braceosaurus?
apatosaurus?
saurapods?

[Neox]

braceosaurus?
the brachiosaur can do the stomp ;)

apatosaurus?
the Brontosaurus was misidentified by its discoverer Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879, and the designation persisted as the official term in the literature until at least 1974. It was just a apatosaur with a wrong skull and they thought it is a different race, so there never was a brontosaurus ;)

saurapods:
Sauropoda, the sauropods, are a suborder or infraorder of the saurischian ("lizard-hipped") dinosaurs. They were the largest animals ever to have lived on land. Well-known genera include Apatosaurus (formerly known as the Brontosaurus), Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus.

It is very comforting to know that this game is being developed by people who truly know about dinosaurs :D. As a dino nut, I'm glad you guys aren't going with the "Velociraptor taller than a man" or "T-Rex standing upright with his tail dragging" idea other games have done.

Does the Raptor Handler and his raptor have their own special move and killing moves? And does that raptor drag him everywhere into battle, like a energetic dog on a leash? That would be kinda funny looking. "Does anyone have a baggie? My raptor's done with this norseman." :lol:

kk good to know you know your stuff.
how do dinos kno who to attack?

[Neox]

what do you mean?

[Carnosaur]

well first off i mean story wise not gameplay wise but how do they know what team to kill?

[Julian]

how do they know what team to kill?
What makes you think that they care about what team someone is from in the first place? ;)

[Carnosaur]

so why don't they attack there side when hungry? or is it like yay a t rex. noooooo not my warroirs. bad boy! SIT!

hehe sorry

[Julian]

Er... there are two types of dinosaurs. The ones that are part of your tribe and the ones that live in the wild. Your own dinosaurs are part of your army and you command them like all the other units.

[Carnosaur]

ya, i know, i was meaning story wise. i know you may not have an answer or what not i was just wondering. no matters :)

well i can't wait.

oh and with the seige thingy with the braceosaurus where they climb over, could the big dino walk though the wall?

[Julian]

If dinos simply could walk through walls, there wouldn't be much sense in building some in the first place. That said, walls have to be destroyed.

[Carnosaur]

so walls can be destroyed?

[Neox]

sure (and some more words so i can answer you...)

[Julian]

Of course.

[Carnosaur]

??? wat do you mean some more words chaps?????

also i am looking foward to putting men on walls and dinos, will they have extra defence?

[Neox]

sure is too short to be allowed as a post ;)

having an archer on a wall will make him look und shoot further i'm not quite sure if you have to destroy the wall till you can reach the archer... ich should try this ^^
