Function Powerful explosive

Kegs are the most powerful explosive devices in King Arthur's Gold, coming in the form of barrels of gunpowder.

When detonated, a keg will destroy most blocks that are positioned directly horizontally or vertically to the keg. It will also kill all players within a certain range.

Any class can carry a keg, but it can only be lit by a knight. A player can carry a keg on his back, which will lower his movement speed and prevent him from using the [Left Mouse] action. (Attacking for knights, shooting for archers, and building for builders.) The [Right Mouse] action still works, however. (Shielding, grappling, and mining for the three classes, respectively.) In order to light a keg, a knight must press [Space] will carrying it. Then, he can drop it at an enemy structure and run away from the explosion.

Notes

  • The timer on a keg is six seconds long. It would be ideal to use the last few seconds to escape the explosion.
  • Kegs will not, under normal circumstances, explode when destroyed. But if a keg is destroyed while lit, it will explode, regardless of the timer. A lit keg dropped from a height will detonate on impact.
  • A keg kills all players within its explosive radius, regardless of team, so make sure that your teammates can stay clear of the explosion.
  • After a keg is activated and thrown, anybody from either team can pick it up and throw it away to defend their base. The only guaranteed way that your keg will stay is not to let go, committing suicide.
  • A nearby explosion may also detonate a keg, making chain reactions possible for compounded destruction. This also makes keg storage very dangerous.
  • A keg can be loaded onto a catapult, but the fuse will continue to burn while it is loaded, so it may explode early.
