So the piles would be very slow explosions?

No, the piles would be piles. But they'd disappear after 30 turns becase they decay, or get eaten, or whatever. And no, they won't kill adjacent bugs. They only kill daleks/turtles/whatever we call them, and said daleks need to move into the pile.

Imagine they were landmine turtles. Two of them collide, BANG! Only a pile remains. Can you then explain why walking into the remaining pile would be deadly? And only for other turtles?

It's because of the shells. See, they'll decay but it takes a while. The shell shrapnel is razor-sharp and will trip up anything that walks along it after shredding it(many shards are tall). So, snakes can't crawl, and wraithwings can't fly. But turtles are too stupid, and crawl along into it and explode because of the rough terrain(nasty bumps).

Man, that was a perfect explanation. Just one question: Do they avoid each other and piles if they are controlled by a brain?

Depends; do roaches avoid each other when brained? Piles I don't think 'cause they don't count as monsters, but rather items. But they probably hit other turtles. After all, brains send serpents down passages blocked by babies.

Maybe "Beheaded Kamikaze" like those in Serious Sam?
That has always been my favorite enemy in that game.

If you want suicide bombers, go to "Goblin's Ponies" or something like that on this board.

Goblin's Donkeys.

And Serious sam was fun.

It was no Quake, but it was fun.

Besides, suicide bombs would have more blast radius.

I like the idea, with golems as the sprite. I personally think that they should not be affected at all by your sword, and the piles should deteriorate oon spawn cycle. Maybe they could crash into other enemies too.
And a mage enemy that could make one golem per cycle to the side which is the same direction as beethro. Spawning more would be pointless, they'd never make it past two steps.
