Poilet Tank and Corpse Explosion Abilities?

I happened to notice you can give these to units, any clue what they do? Can we put peons in tanks and make them shoot out or something? And whats corspe explode?

I don't know if they actually work, but Pilot Tank is for riflemen to load into steam tanks, and corpse explosion is for the corpse to blow up and hurt surrounding units.

Pilot tank used to be an ability on beta that allowed riflemans/mortar teams to get inside on steam tanks and pilot them giving the tank an attack. (the original tank didn't have an attack).

Corpse explosing allowed necromancers to blow up corpses , giving damage to units around it.

Not sure if they're going to work ok with the retail version.

Interesting, I wonder if the abilities will actually work if I use them in the editor. I guess I give one tank ability to the rifles, and the 2nd one to the tank. Ill have to mess around with this.

No, It can't work! Althought the button can still be seen in the game, but cursor over the unit with the abilities = Kaboom! crashes

did you give the tank the cargo abilities? I think those would be needed since it would be a unit transport. At least it was in the beta...

corpse explode was a necromancer ability in beta... it's still there!? wowzers, i gotta use that.
