I'm starting to like this whole "discuss proposal ideas" thingy, so here's what I plan to propose next. Comments and suggestions are welcome.



All units and buildings now have a non-negative integer property known as "splash damage", which defaults to 0 for any unit/building that does not have a value given for splash damage.
Whenever a unit with non-zero splash damage attacks another unit/building, then it also automatically attacks all other units/buildings in the same territory as the target unit with an attack strength equal to the attacking units's splash damage.
If a unit has separate splash damage values against units and buildings, the value used in calculating the damage will be the one for the unit that is being attacked with splash damage, not the initial attack target.

Example: A Catapult attacks a Zealot, and an Archer and a Wall occupy the same territory as the Zealot. The Catapult will deliver 12-4 = 8 damage to the Zealot, 8-1 = 7 damage to the Archer, and 20-15 = 5 damage to the Wall.
