Dead cow missiles!!!?

[snorky]

I dont know if they implanted this in Kingdoms or not, but i suddenly noticed that the trebuchet has another missile except a stone ball and a flamming ball, they can shoot dead cows at units, i laughed so hard at seeing the enemy being crushed by a flying cow:laugh4: , anyway has anyone els noticed this or even used it from time to time cause i never did until now.

cow can weaken the enemys troops befor your troops have to fight them makeing them easyer to kill.trebuchet fireing cows was in m2tw two. now make sure you put them dead cows to good use.

Unfortunately I don't think I've fired any cows yet from my trebuchets ~:(

I've fired flamming (rocks?) as that was the special fire function I can click on, but not sure where / how to get the cows? would be hilarious ~:joker:

Just click the special fire button two times and you got the cows. Click again and you've got normal ammunition. Click once again and you've got flaming ammunition. You can switch to normal ammunition once you've used up all your cows.

oh thanks,

can't believe I didn't try that :oops:

just tried it on M2TW, funny to see carcasses flying into the enemy, and then afterwards a green 'gas' emit from it with flies (although that further lags the game)

Is there a limit to how many cow carcasses you can fire? like 2-4? as I did a custom battle and had around 14 trebuchets all set on cows, I think they fired at least 3 to 4 cows each, but then automatically switched to the flamming (rocks?), I tried to click on special fire option but there was no cow option, so I guess there must be a limit.

You don´t need more than 3-4 since if they all are fired to good spots it causes massive morale penalty to possibly all enemy troops, then with flaming ammo you cause more, If playing English you can also use long range archers with flaming missiles, then enemy won´t stand much more than full frontal cavalry charge with dreadful general.
EDIT: They have a limit per battle, like normal rocks and flaming ammo.

thanks for the info

yeah I actually did that too in that custom battle as the English, using sherwood archers with flamming arrows, with that combo 1/3rd of the enemy quickly routed the battlefield ~:joker:

[imnothere]

hint - 1 dead cow is deadlier than 100 arrows - at least to those poor knights that got flattened by it.

You can fire three dead cows per trebuchet.
