My suggestion is to allow this to be placed on top of buildings. The way it stands now, in most bases you can hardly use it at all due to the placement of the cliffs and the lack of space between towers. I use it all the time whenever I can but in a lot of bases (above mound for example) there is absolutely nowhere to put it Sad

Isn't this the ability that has the crap casting range? I increased it for the .8x series since it was like 150 or something stupid.

I really don't get what you mean by "place on buildings" though since well... it's just an area targetted spell ain't it?

No, the way the spell works, at least how I'm assuming it does, is that it's coded off of a unit. The unit needs at least a 1x1 space to occupy in order to be placed and after about .5 seconds it sends out an AOE that effects all buildings and units within an XXX radius. The only spot I can ever put it is either behind the towers, between walls, or, if im lucky, an empty space that a hunter used to occupy. It's kind of a nuisance and I wish it could be targeted on buildings so placing could be a little more strategic. As of right now, I'm just throwing it where there is room and hoping it effects some towers.

I remember seiging a radio base one night and the only spot I could place it caused only his walls to be effected which made the spell pretty much useless.

I'm suggesting making the unit "flying" as it were so you can put it on top of towers. Or just scrap the whole thing all together and just make it an area targeted effect.

Holy shit... I'm surprised this was not brought up earlier. I never really play Glacious so I personally never even thought of it.

The actual reasoning for it acting the way it should is this: The ability is based off Carrion Swarm. This is the worst base ever for this ability since all it uses is the targeted point for a trigger (the trigger itself is fine, since the dummy unit used is a flying unit. Remember that triggers cannot effect which targets the spell is allowed in such a way as was shown in Kyleep's video).

I've fixed it for .8c simply by changing the ability to be based off Channel. Gwypaas will most likely pick up on this as well and fix it in his GX series.
