i wish i coulda seen that battle. trumanator was subbing for me that particular turn. lol.

Forgive me if I'm displaying my lack of modding knowledge, but there seems to be a lot of instances where you have #__ immediately followed by #end. Is there a reason for this? Also, when can we expect a full changelog?

What do people think of the midget masher, now that there's been some time to use it? Has anyone bothered to use one?

I keep on thinking it'd be a great idea to put on something big, like a giant or a Basalt King. Then I realize that 22 strength -15 is only 7, and 7 doubled is only 14 damage--not enough to punch through anything's armor. Add to that it being a 2-handed weapon...why would you use it? I mean, it sounds perfect for an Ettin(now there's an idea, boost Earth by letting us summon Ettins!), but that's about the only thing that would use a Midget Masher.

Compare it to Gloves of the Gladiator, which just wrecks entire squares of troops. I think Midget Masher can be buffed to at least -10 damage instead of -15. That way you could maybe kill Militia (or Burgmeister Guards) in one hit. Armor piercing(or even armor negating) would also make a lot of sense, seeing as you are just smashing the entire square and armor doesn't really help against that.

Yeah, I also think -15 makes it a bit disappointing. I can see qm was trying to be careful not to make an overpowerful monster of a weapon, but being as it's two-handed and rather situational I reckon there's some room for increasing the damage slightly.

[Trumanator]

Its good for a fair number of SC pretenders.

[kianduatha]

Could you enlighten me as to which SC pretenders? I mean, it'd be just fine for a Colossal Fetish or Cyclops or something, but it's still not as good as just putting on Boots of the Behemoth. You would need to be hitting smaller targets anyways--might as well trample multiple squares of them(and deal more damage!)

[Trumanator]

Trample will rack up your fatigue very fast. I find its useful for really any large SC chassis w/hands, such as Risen Oracle, Cyclops, Father of Winters, etc.

Does the new EA multihero actually work?

There's nothing in 2828 to say the landshape is 2829 (and vice-versa). So I suspect you'll get a 2828, he'll go on land and become a 1039, and go back in the water and become a 1038. Not that it really matters, except for the descriptions.
