<div class="IPBDescription">Mines?</div> Okay, I'm curious. This sounds like the perfect alien counter to mines. Have the playtesters and vets found it so in the 1.1j games they've played so far? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think (not sure) that, in 1.1j, it is their only counter to mines.

    Good thinking, but weren't fades the anti-mine anyway?

    Before Metabo, nothing could kill mines (other than suicide).

    Without acid rocket until the third hive, there was no counter, since gorge spit no longer sets them off.

    what really bugged me when reading the beta forum is that 2hive bile bombs don't set off mines. that didn't seem right to me

    As of now nothing detonates mines expect a player themself.

    I assume metabolize works vs. mines, because damage in general is converted.

    I thought mines have a health limit now...that means lerks could spike it? I'm probably wrong.

    There were engine limitations so Flayra was unable to implement it.

    Acid rockets dont blow up mines anymore.
