Title: Melee attacking through walls
Post by: Gonorejus on December 28, 2014, 10:10:30 AM
It turns out that you can attack enemies in melee diagnoally through walls. This is kinda interesting, but not really effective against large 100+ enemy raids. Might be usefull to soften the enemies up before they reach your main defence, though.
You can check it out here

Super cheaty, but interesting and nice to know.  That video was a pretty good example.  I'm curious if you've ever had enemies try to attack back through a corner in the wall?  or any experience of it with mechs?

they can attack through gaps like this just the same way
I had a tribal club me through one of my hidey holes once (never thought of using it to my advantage in anyway though! unlike some smarter peoples!)

ofc if you got the sandbags there nothing should be able to retaliate =P
pawns shouldn't be able to fight on sandbags

If it wasn't you Shinzy, I'd believe that the rifle behind Wombat is on the ground... but it really really looks like a weapon slung behind the back.

I want to believe!
