Flying cow :tooth:

Link doesnt work. And I think you mean flying cow, not flaying cow.

**ghost665** · September 21, 2006, 09:08 AM

lol nice vid not bad quality though a little short, but then cows were never designed to fly.

Ouch.
Poor cows, don't let PETA see this video

**Gaius Baltar** · September 21, 2006, 09:15 AM

Wow! Looks like the cows tuck there legs for the flight. And then they moo when the hit the ground and spalt into nice bloody chunks! Well done!

And the point of airborne cows is...biological warfare?

Black Plague artillery, ala the Mongols? How would disease even affect units on the battlefield?

can someone post the link please? it doesnt seem to open..some kind of error..even the second one. thanks

'Tis a little Python-esqe. I wonder if it has a damage value against walls like fire pots in RTW. It'd be funny if you launched a cow at a wall and the section collapsed...

**Flotch** · September 21, 2006, 09:42 AM

good one!! lol :tooth: !!

**Kdar** · September 21, 2006, 09:38 AM

lol.. nice

**Stalins Ghost** · September 21, 2006, 09:44 AM

lol...looks awesome, but as has been said before...whats the point. They dont carry insta-death malaria or something do they?

I mean, its not like they're even severed heads with the attibuted moral hit...

**Spart** · September 21, 2006, 10:10 AM

Holy crap!

And the point is, I quess, that it demoralizes the enemy. Wouldn't be nice to scrape off those stinky, rotten meatballs from the battlefield. Not very healthy...
Pythonesque indeed. But do soldiers throw ducks from the walls?

Only if the infantry charge the walls and hack at the stone with swords

hang on, thats what they did in Age of kings...

I guess the cows damage morale for a short period but I dunno how long. Also, if you select a trebuchet and switch to the special ability does the commander say 'Use Cow!'. Doesn't sound as dangerous as 'use fire!'

I wonder if cattle is unavailable in a particular region would dwarf tossing be an allowable substitute?

**CrazedClown** · September 21, 2006, 10:29 AM

I would imagibe the units that are within the "cow cloud" recive an attribute subtraction, like lower moral and slower movement speed or something to demonstarte their queazyness.

**~~Yosemite~~** · September 21, 2006, 11:26 AM

Indeed. They are used to plant swords in peoples face, but a dead cow will disguste them.

**The Mongol** · September 21, 2006, 11:37 AM

They're there to spread plague and I'm guessing demoralize. Severed heads would be more demoralizing though, they should have those as another option, It'd be great!

Boulders = Death
Cows = Disease
Heads = Demoralize

They had severed heads in RTW why cant we chuck them in this one?

Maybe I'm just a sick person but hey..

More on topic though, WOW, this cowtillery is AWESOME.

Thing is, we can have blood accumulated on clothes/armor, exploding cows, burning of heretics but we can't have some on the sword or it will be an M rated game? Yay ESRB.

I don't think that it's because of esrb. I think it won't look good to have a grossy red texture suddenly appearing on swords.
