    I went into Tarant with 10000 stone worth of dynamite and dropped it (not activated) in a shop whos owner I had killed. Then I threw a timed bomb inside, I ran like hell for the entrance to the city. Then, JUST as I left the city, the biggest explosion I have EVER seen rocked the city. All my characters were stunned for about 5 minnutes after the blast. I went inside, there was not a soul in the city, and not a single object. And I mean not one single thing, accually I did find one thing, a pair of boots. Trash cans, machinery, people, doors, windows, items, beds, and anything else was just GONE. It was sooooooo cool. I made an Arcanum Nuke.

    You can't walk with 10000 stone of dynamite, unless you were butt naked, had 20 strength, and were patient enough to walk that slowly. Also, you probably couldn't fit 10000 stone of dynamite into you inventory.

    Well I held a hell of a lot of my stock. I did have followers that helped bring it in.

    Oh.... My.... God.....

    Do it again, and get a screenshot. Let's see your big bang and empty city. Let's see shots of your characters inventory chockers of dynamite as well. As well as that, save your game right before you do it. With dynamite on the floor ready to be blown. Then, distribute the saved game around, so we can all do it for ourselves. :smile:

    There is an option here which you can use to EDIT YOUR POSTS, so you don't have to make multiple ones right after another.

    can't you just load a saved game and blow up Tarant again? (I mean if it were me I'd prob have a saved game before it to blow the damn town 100 times over :grin:)

    I dont believe you. Here's why:

    I don't think Arcanum's explosives will increase in damage radius when more are grouped together. More powerful explosives have a larger radius, yes. So placing two sticks of dynamite on top of each other would do twice as much damage to enemies within the radius of effect, but it shouldn't increase the radius of effect at all.
    So piling 10,000 stone of dynamite in one area wouldn't make an explosion nearly big enough take out the entire city.
    Even if you piled it all over the shop, it shouldnt level more than the surrounding few buildings.

    I will doublecheck this with the dynamite's code in the spelllist.mes gamefile, tho.

    I suppose it's possible you encountered a game bug.
