unfortunatelly the arrows get eaten. the easiest way to test it, is to open the SVG in gwenview.
I will add an option to show all tiles even if the feature is not yet implemented, so you can see how it looks like in the game.

don't remove it. I'll use it as land mine. just rename it to arena_mine.

or something like a geyser?

I think both ;)

that's a really good idea
