About the torch lit bombs.
 

These bombs should do the following apart from just hurting monsters.

1) they can be layed down on ships and lit for enemy ship sabotage!

2) Those cracks you see in caverns and dungeons, lay it down near one to temporarily blast it and open a new level.

Its kinda like a new haunted house level except you need to stock up on cannonballs to proceed into next area.

In kingdom dungeons it can be similar except there you can locate the kingdom mining area!
Also some places act as a shortcut to get to main and back.

3) Monsters cannot pick up

4) chain explosion, if 1 cannonball is in blast radius of other it will also explode (like bomberman)
so there you can create a devestating blow and wipe pout multiple monsters in 1 go!

Great for treasure maps, dungeons and haunted houses!
and useful for trap building for pvp warfare!
And fortifcation destruction.

5) Faster mining, instead of using pick axe into the wall for minerals blast it and get multiple minerals per go!
Its expensive using your precious ammunition but your paying for speed.

I believe Bosh should stamp a approval on this. =p

I love it by all means, excellent ideas there Chris.

I thought of something like this, too. But I don't really have a big idea what to put behind the crack. Maybe some small level with a few monsters.

Put something similar to a level 1 map, so after a set time it collapses, and if you finish it in X amount of time you get like 50 plat.

Hmmm
 

It entirely depends on where it is.
If it is on kingdom island maybe hidden rooms like a mining facility, war room and stuff.

If on main island a new room with monsters, it be a good place for the bats
to lurk and maybe a new route of travel could be created.
It could be like a secret underground system with tunnels and monster guards.

Remember those strong bile avatar monsters?
Reuintroduce them down there and they guard the cracked walls.

The secret tunnels could travel from haunted house to haunted house.
Shortcut from kingdom island to main.
Maybe have a tunnel leading to a new room, a kind of dungeon underground.
A good place to reintroduce some scary things and quests.

It is entirely what you want it to be.
:cool:

Maybe link it with the story of the bomys.
the bomys do seem to live underground as you can dig them up!
Maybe under the soil they have a homeworld?
where the so-called breeders live.
Battle your way down and down until you confront the super bomy warlord?
Kill that thing which would be hard, and claim it's body part.
Maybe on the surface trade that to someone and get a nice shiny medal?
Sell that thing for a handsome amount of platinum coins!
Or keep as a house decoration.

Something like that.
Of course there are other possibilities for the blastable secret coves.
