| Summary | 0007360: Combat horror and cowardice too common | ||||
| Description | Combatants are much too prone to recoiling in horror. Take for example this goblin siege group: http://i.imgur.com/sW7M7VB.png?2 That was the only actual combat thus far. Aside from that, a goblin recruit swung at but missed one of my dogs. Three goblins fled after that, with absolutely no damage to them or any of their friends. Suggestions: 1.) All creatures in a military force should have suppressed horror reflexes -- they'll still be able to be emotionally disturbed, but it would take a lot more than it would to scare a civilian (Seeing 10 friends die rather than one corpse). 2.) Wounded/dead hostiles don't cause horror to military forces ever. Wounded/dead hostiles also cause dramatically reduced horror to civilians (the only times civilians should be disturbed by hostile corpses is if there's A LOT of them or if the civilian in question is a complete pacifist). | ||||
| Additional Information | Uploaded save here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9000 Goblins should siege the fortress very quickly at the start of the season. | ||||

Fun fact... If a dwarf or creature dies on the path that traders use, they often times become horrified and drop everything they are carrying, leaving you free loot. |

Nevenrial: The issue you mention is bug 0007185. |

These reactions are much less frequent now, although there should still be some balance/nuance especially as it relates to people in/used to combat. |
