Regarding some of the power-ups

Postby MasterBoo » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:03 pm

I can't figure entirely what some of the power-ups do:

  • Magical Forest - I know the Dark Forest turns MWGs (BTW, what's the G in MWGs?) into Ghosts, but what the Magical Forest does besides being.. errr. flammable?
  • Rocketwinians - Are these coming out of a power-up or everyone get them after a while? Do all my MWGs get rockets once I get the upgrade?
  • The UFO - Never got one, so I don't know what it does. Someone told me it's like a big Engineer used to collect souls into spawn points. Was he right? :P
  • Futurewininas - Before they spawn, their ship hang around with its beam underneath. Does it cause some sort of an effect? When the FW spawn at that point (and where)?

The trees release souls. :)

Not sure myself, I assume you get a bunch of fresh Multiwinians with rockets.

But I can't use the souls without an Engineer, right?

as for the Ufo yes it's a big engineer one that i don't think can be destroyed and you can control it !!! much like MWs.

The Futurewinians are created by sucking up other darwinians or MW's and get put in the UFO. What happens in the ufo STAYS in the ufo, but after a while the ship will stop collecting MWs and go somewhere in the level and "beam them down." one rightafter the other real ufo like. then the ufo leaves and if there's something for them to do, eg. capture spawn, capture score zone in KOTH, etc. they will do it just like any other ai player. but if your in CTS, they'll just stand around as they have no zone to take a statue to. they will fight if you get close though.

Rocketwinians are gotten by a crate. they give rockets to MWs.

as for the magical forest i don know anyone else wanna answer?

Ah, you wrote "darwinians or MW's" so it confused me :)

Just need a clarification on the Rocketwinian upgrade the souls (usable by Engineer only?)

Thanks for the answers so far!

They come from crates. You have to pay attention though as it can be easy to miss it.

The beam abducts MWs and converts them to FWs. The ship then goes to a random point and beams the FWs down. They have no "spawn point" as such.

The "G" stands for Guy(s).

Despite the new game, to me they will always be DGs...

Magical Forest releases souls, if the forest is near a spawn point and you have a UFO or a engineer you can crank out new Multiwinians fast. Someone also posted that virus can spread quickly in magical forests.

Right.
Some people talk because they have something to say. Others talk because they have to say something.
