Scout LOS

xyxaxyz2 · 12-08-2003, 08:53 PM

Anyone know exactly how this works? I think I do.

Ri'Orius · 12-08-2003, 09:04 PM

I just know that it's weird. I was once able to hit a Frost Golem in a corner with someone on all three sides with a Scout. Dunno how I did it, didn't expect it to work, but it did.

Enlighten us?

xyxaxyz2 · 12-08-2003, 09:17 PM

I'm really interested in that. I want to hear some personal experiences before revealing my idea.

Was it sort of like this:

[G][K]
[K][K]
[S]

I've been meaning to do a test with someone about this. I recently had a scout shoot seemingly through my units to hit my Witch. It was on kind of an angle at range. Something like this:

[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][W][P]
[ ][A ][K]
[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][S]

xyxaxyz2 · 12-08-2003, 11:13 PM

I tried that, it didn't work until the scout was right next to the knight. (2 spaces North of its space in your picture)

Draw a line; 1/3 of any square cut off, the shot stops there.

Trick shots are possible, ie:

T _
K K
_ S

Scout at S can hit T.

I to am interested in the solutions for this problem.

could you explain that 1/3 of square thing more clearly for me please dragonslayer.

I would be much abliged.

Yeah xyxaxyz2,

I probably didn't get the formation right. It was something like that.

Try shooting so that the angle of the slope passes right through the middle of the square holding defenders.

[W][ ]
[ ][L]
[A ][K]
[ ][ ]
[ ][S]

Or even something like this:

[W][ ]
[ ][L]
[A ][K]
[ ][ ]
[ ][ ]
[ ][S]

WatchYoSelf · 12-09-2003, 04:35 PM

Thats pretty cool. Didn't know you could make shots like that.

xyxaxyz2 · 12-09-2003, 04:44 PM

Just tested the first, Haelix. It worked.

Dragonslayers · 12-09-2003, 06:07 PM

Basically any shot is possible as long as you don't cut off more than a third of any square you pass through with the LOS line from the center of your square to the center of the target square.

[G][K]
[K][K]
[S]

The Dark Lord is intrigued, for how exactly did you plan to get from S to G with a scout. Or is the Dark Lord missing the picture and there are exterior forces at work here. I warn you though, any comments about the Dark Lord not understanding will be greeted with harsh retrobution.

Your friendly neighborhood Dark Lord,

xyxaxyz2 · 12-09-2003, 11:31 PM

It is actually this, Dark Lord.
[G][K]
[K][K]
[ ][S]

Wurtil · 12-09-2003, 11:36 PM

That was the response that was the most notably favorable of expected replies. The Dark Lord can attest that with all foes that he has crushed, there have been no extrordinary shots falling outside the boundries you have placed down xyxaxyz2. Continue your good work, and there may even be a glorious place set aside for you in the kingdom of the Dark Lord.

Your friendly neighborhood Dark Lord,
Wurtil

I think Dragonslayer is close to correct, in not entirely.
