I have looked into vorpral blades for guave but i am still unsuccesfull, is there anyone that knows how to make it so, the attack pierces through the unit and goes out to 1500 range maximum range from attacking unit?

Do something similar to Storm Hammers, you can change the unit's splash field and shit.

Hmm... Storm Hammers? Doesn't they work like glaive? Easiest way would be with Shockwave.

I believe that the Vorpal Blades ability is just a dummy; all the information for how to make an attack do that is actually part of the Glaive Thrower unit itself. Check out its attack properties.

Yeah, look at the unit's stats, the Glaive/Hammer abilities only activate it.

No.

It enables attack 2 AND increases the Damage - Spill radius by 200.

spill radius sounds like it is refering to splash damage in a circle.

I read somewhere about the Vorpal Blades that they act strange. Something like they go through all units and splash (in circle!) at max range.

I actually experimented with piercing attacks a while ago (about a year ago), then I stopped modding for a while, and now started again. The thing is, it's "spill distance" that controls it as far as I remember. There are two ways to do a splash, 1 is the default circle splash game uses called "Area of Effect", another is a working, but not-used method. This second method uses "Spill Distance" to see how far the damage goes, and "Spill Radius" to see how wide it is (so basically drawing an ellipse for you). So a Spill Radius of 0, and Spill Distance of a decent range is as good as a piercing attack.


EDIT: BTW, does reputation go away after you don't use the forums for a while? Mine is back to zero apparently.

Sorry, one more thing I forgot to mention. For "Spill Distance" and "Spill Radius" to work, make sure you use "Artillery (Line)" type of attack.
