Suggestion:20081002 MOLOTOV COCKTAILS
Suggestion type
Transforms the existing drinks in useful civilian weapons.
Suggestion Scope
This will affect more Survivors than Zombies.
Suggestion description
Why not change the existing "Wine" for something a little more useful? "Vodka" or "Whiskey" (for example). They say one glass of wine every morning and you will have a better health. Is anybody here worried about health? We wanna survive! With Vodka or Whiskey, or some drink really strong, we can produce Molotovs!
Molotov cocktails could be lit with a "Lighter" (another new item). See this:
The survivor searchs in "Johnny without Arms" and finds Vodka.
He searches again and finds "Lighter".
He uses the "Lighter", wich transforms one "Vodka" or "Whiskey" in his backpack into a Molotov!
He attacks a Zombie with the molotov!
Molotovs can cause about 8 points of damage, 15% of the time. I think the damage is not too much this way, if you analize it is a Molotov! The human body burns very easily. This transforms an useless item that heals 1 HP, in one useful item that burns the undead monsters!
If you think as the "Lighter" as a new weapon... the liquors will be its ammunition! It will be a civilian weapon, just like the movie "28 Days Later" shows...
Also, this mod could make the "pub" places in another source of ammunition for players, so the zombies will have new targets and the survivors will have a new hope!
The Lighter could be found in almost every place, like Police Departments, Fire Stations, Pubs, Clubs, Misc. Buildings, Warehouses, Junkyards... and much more! The Lighter could be more useful if we use it combined with the other items, like the Spray Cans, or the Fuel Cans. We can think about it. But for now, i am only suggesting the Molotov.
The Drinks could be found in their usual places. Soon it will raise the search for alcohol in the game.
I am really enjoying the game, great work you guys done!
