Well, i know it does not show anything new already.
A 7-point vortex launcher with "embeeded" bombing in its loop, with a
silk pair in the head.
I have seen this in recent warriors but always combined with other
papers, not as a stand alone strategy.
I knew it does well by itself so i just optimized the code a little
bit.
How should we call it? "replicating bombing vortex"...? Jedimp?
Thanks for your comments, i want to try some of the ideas Robert
suggested.
