Madmatt's POTD for Monday


Recommended Posts

I sure enjoyed Monday's POTD. I brought to mind a question that I was unable to answer using search. Does the snow fall (actual motion)during playback? I have only seen the still shots so I couldn't tell. Also, when the flamethrower fires at a snowbound target, will it melt the snow and leave a bare patch of ground? (I would imagine not as it seems a similar coding problem as the dead body issue).

Yes, it snows during playback (and during the orders phase) It can also our pour down rain too (VERY cool). As to the second question, I have not seen the ground melt (that would require a whole other terrain tile and not neccesary) but something that is modeled is that since their was snow on the ground, those trees did not burst into flame (and that tank fired 5 or 6 bursts into it too!). Seems the dryer the area of ground the more likely a fire will start!

Just another added detail that makes CM so great!
