    Kegs should explode when they are hit by:
    • Bomb's explosion
    • B-arrow
    • Fire arrow (after few seconds)
    • Other kegs' explosion
    It was a really fun feature back in Classic (though they were ignited by regular arrows instead of b-arrow & fire arrow).

    Bomb explosion : NO.
    Drop a bomb behind and next to someone and his keg explodes. So it would be useless

    It would work against enemy only.

    I'd only want kegs to set off prematurely due to either fire arrows, or other kegs.

    Bomb/bomb arrow explosions would be too ridiculous lol, it'd be impossible to use kegs if these two things could trigger them.

    Arrows can hit a keg over a shield, if you have height advantage/angle. I do this all the time to unsuspecting knights who are waiting for the right moment to keg.

    You can throw a bomb behind someone, etc.

    I'd be ok if bombs and bomb arrows set off keg explosions So long as damage from swords, regular arrows, and falling didn't set it off (Edit: Lit, or unlit).

    I thought fire arrows / bomb arrows would be okay, but now I realise that an archer would just climb your tower with the keg and then place it down and shoot it and destroy your tower from the inside.

    Except I bomb jump with kegs. So this would cause my keg to go off when you try to bomb jump.

    So you hit yourself with your own bomb to bomb jump? You don't block your bombs?

    also kegs shouldn't explode when destroying them while lit, with say, a regular sword.

    half the time i go down to stop a kegger our base ends up getting destroyed because they like to turn around so you hit the keg instead of them.

    And also... I have a nice method for ragequits. Drop a lit keg, next to your base, just enough to kill all enemies under and to prevent destroying your tower... But...
    WHY THE HECK DOES A SINGLE ARROW BOUNCE BACK THE KEG TO ME -.-

    That's what I meant when I said this:
    Also, it would make kegs a bit harder to use because you'd have to block every explosive and fire arrow that came near you, whether your keg is lit or not.
    Also, if you're complaining about how archers could carry it anywhere, you do realize how easy it is to stop said archer right? One slash, and they're gone, and you have a free keg, or you could bomb snipe the archer while he's in the middle of the battlefield, taking out all of his little red friends.

    Heheheh... I'll agree it doesn't make much sense, but i think it's a very good countering mechanic.

    archers cant light kegs, so no, im not complaining about that, i'm talking about when the keg is already lit, and you hit it while a knight is carrying it

    you almost always hit the keg before you hit the knight, and it's bullshit
