Hunting, how long is too long
« on: October 05, 2010, 12:20:26 pm »
Following Avin's thread about military, I'd like to ask the same question about hunting.

I don't think you need worry about Hunters/Rangers/Trappers. I never have anyway. Providing they've got the equipment they need they'll just wander out when they feel like it and come back when they've made a kill/capture or they're tired, hungry or thirsty. Sometimes they sleep in the dirt and get unhappy but give them a nice bedroom and a well stocked booze cabinet and such minor discomforts are of no consequence.

Although I don't make much use of hunters any more since I tend to wall up my map, I used them for a long time in 31.12, and not once did I ever have one get unhappy because he'd been out hunting too long, and that was running them continuously for 10 or more years at a time.
