Kerguelen does also recieve the special features:
-Hammer- Scream from a Walrus, (Red circle):
Echoes from the north pole... This weapon will deal 20 damage + 10% of your hogs health. So if your hog have 200 hp then it will deal 20+20=40 damage to all hogs in the circle.
-Hammer- Disguise as a Rockhopper Penguin, (Yellow circle):
This feature will make your hog swap place with an enemy hog within the circle.
This is useful when jumping into the water. (The orca will eat the other hog instead).
-Hammer- Lonely Cries, (Blue circle):
If no hogs except your own is in the circle then it will raise the water and deal 7 damage to ALL enemy hogs.
-Hammer- Flare (Green circle):
If you are staying close to one hog, then your hog will fire 2 bombs upwards and the your hog will fly depending on where you stand (left/right) relative to the enemy hogs position. If no enemy hog is within the radius then your hog will only fire up 1 bomb. Note that there is no escape time.
-Hammer- Sabotage (White circle):
This feature may be confusing. First you will deal 10 damage to all hogs within the circle.
Then on the damaged hogs turn then the hog will be partly controlled by a computer, (very very very bad computer). So the computer may skip the turn, or fire a bazooka up into the air. However sabotage is escapable.

Zealanda likes randomness, and will recieve the weapons (at the first turn):
Bazooka, Blowtorch, Switch hog.
Zealandia does also recieve the special features:

Vatten made some updates to Continental supplies in the last months. I don't understand why Vatten does not make any new posts.
Current version is 1.5a. If you like Continental supplies, you should check out this version, too.
Here is a webpage with download links: https://sourceforge.net/p/continentalsupplieshedgewars/code/ci/master/tree/release/
Hi, I am a Hedgewars developer.
Hi again!
So I recently saw that you, Vatten, made more updates recently, for HW 0.9.23.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/continentalsupplieshedgewars/
These are my comments about version 1.6c:
There's now usage of the weapon description overrides. Nice!
It's also very good that continent selection is now strictly separate from your first real turn. But the game does have any indication what keys you have to press, or that weapon selection is locked in this time.
I definitely want to update this script to the latest release before HW 0.9.24. Because the version in official Hedgewars has become quite outdated.
I think I found a bug. The green lipstick bullet suddenly deals damage!
A question: Do your weapon delays take into accout the fact that the first round is a non-playing round? Otherwise, the weapon delays will be off by 1 from what you actually intended.
The new Antartica special has an weird name.
The messages and strings in this script need a complete overhaul.
The stuff has steadily improved in the past, but it's still quite chaotic and confusing for newcomers.
The captions are way too long. The caption should of course be used to display the current weapon special, but ONLY the name and maybe any modifiers. It should be as brief as possible. It should NOT include a complete help. That's what the weapon description is for.
The lines in the initial mission panel are too long. Lines above 80 characters should be avoided.
Also, the mission panel continues to display how to select a continent even after you already did this.
The initial weapon menu is used for continent selections, but it still uses the default weapon names and descriptions, which is bad.
I'd just replace everything with the same texts as shown in the mission panel.
----------
Development notes:
One idea might be adding a few custom sound effects for some of the weapon specials, like Penguin Roar. At least when the built-in sound effects don't make sense.
Note that since 0.9.23, Hedgewars now allows you to add 8 custom sounds (custom1.ogg - custom8.ogg, get them with sndCustom1 - sndCustom8).
I recently have finally added the new ammo icons in Hedgewars. The code remains largely untouched, however.
---------------
My final question: Do you intend to make huge changes to this script in the future?
Because if I include your updates, and you continue to work on it, out version might quickly differ again.
I could also fix most of my complaints on my own, but I also want to hear your input as the creator of this script.
Hi, I am a Hedgewars developer.
Hi Wuzz!
I do actually agree on most of ur points, ill try to make a new release to the git site u mentioned.
Since i know the script in detail, it might be good that someone outside review my captions/descriptions.
Im planning on updating it for 0.9.24, i might join the irc about that.

Would be nice if you could post news here from time to time. Browsing on Sourceforge is incredibly painful.
Hi, I am a Hedgewars developer.
I have merged your updated script you have posted on GitHub: https://github.com/hedgewars/hw/pull/59
After this, I have started to make my own changes, mainly because you don't seem to have down more of your own work.
My changes are mostly just polishing, bugfixing, usability and string improvements. But a lot of it! Most of my changes are made in this commit:
https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/rev/e27540ad33bd
I tried to avoid gameplay changes.
My only real gameplay changes are:
Including your changes also means that your new Pickhammer special is now included.
I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I noticed a problem:
If you high-jump before you use the special, your hog will drop insanely fast, usually taking over 100 fall damage. It might also deal easily over 100 damage when it hits another hog on the ground!
This does not seem right, this is like an overpowered kamikaze. Do you have ideas on how to change this behaviour?
PS: If you like to work on the code again, I strongly suggest you first pull in the latest changes, because I have changed a lot. If you want me to merge your code, just send patches or post a link to a repository.
Hi, I am a Hedgewars developer.
I like your changes!
Im planning on dealing with the antarctica special, adding minigun the CS, and do some other minior balance tweaks.
Also if you think the strings are crappy etc, or have ideas on balance fixes which makes sense. Feel free to add them (especially if im too slow to update the script).
