Riddle me this batman... How do you load an elephant that weighs 280kg into a transport pod that has a limit of 150kg?

*How to make an elephant fly!

1. Link two transport pods together making the total weight capacity of the linked pods 300kg
2. Load elephant that weighs 280kg
3. Load is a success so launch the pod.

The game looks at the total weight combined while ignoring the individual weight limit of the pods therefore magically splitting the elephant between two parts and putting them back together when the elephant lands.

I would think that it is not intended because when a raid drops they don't drop with full mortars, they drop with pods containing components and steel, then build the mortars on site.


The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yeah I know it's kind of weird, but otherwise it wouldn't be possible to send heavy things like grand sculptures or elephants. The same applies to caravans, if you have 2 muffalos then you can transport something which normally would be too heavy for a single muffalo. I'll leave this for Tynan to decide.
