Welp, I need some bowman assistance.
« on: May 25, 2012, 07:58:09 am »

Anyone got tips on how to take down a lasher and a swordsman with a kobold bowman? I can retreat into a room but they tend to block arrows, then get me in a damned dodge-loop so I cant run away, then eat my head.


Assistance, anyone?

See anything around you? Pick it up and throw it

Ran out of stuff? Throw your weapons.

Still nothing? Throw your clothes.

If nothing else works. You could block your opponents with a wall of campfires.

This, I believe, is a perfect example of why the ambusher skill exists.

And a brilliant time to introduce the question as to; "how on Earth do Kobolds stay alive?"

I have the answer-


Thay dont, I died moments later because I JUMPED OFF A FREAKING ROOF. Really? You thought it would be smart to dodge off a roof? Well, atleast a nearby merchant brained the lasher. Its a good idea to run away and just let a merchant do the fighting sometimes.

This at least you can control. Press shift-C to bring up the combat preference menu, and set both defense options to "stand your ground". You won't move to an adjacent square to dodge attacks.
