I'm playing the DN3D Atomic Edition with the latest JDuke port. According to all the FAQs I've read, the shrinkray isn't supposed to work on Battlelords unless they're really low on health. However I can usually shrink them with a single shot. This makes the Battlelords incredible easy to defeat.
Is this a bug in JDuke? Or is this the way it was in the original DN3D Atomic Edition?

Re: Am I supposed to be able to shrink Battlelords?
Then the FAQs must have all the same mistake. Because you can easily shrink the Battlelord by aiming at his 'thing', although it's a bit tricky to do if you're not close to him.
That particular feat. has always been present in Duke, even in 1.3d.

Yes, sometimes I can hit them with several shots and nothing happens. Other times I fire a single shot and they shrink.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. :)

I knew this and personally have always liked it.

I personally think it's a huge advantage over these plovering machines of death, but the downside of getting near them can lead you to a very premature death if not timing the shots correctly.
I haven't tried for the mini-versions of the Overlord or Cycloid Emperor, but I think they can be shrunk...

Wow, one learns everyday - thank you. I too, did not know that. I noticed on occasions I would shrink the sucker but could never figure out why :)
