"Sprung from ambush" figures inflated
« on: October 18, 2006, 09:06:00 pm »

I just had a visit from 158 ratmen.  I had nearly my entire population of wardogs on the chasm bridge during the encounter.

However, the number of ratmen visible on the Units screen was much lower than what was reported on the Announcement screen.  It occurred to me that what was probably happening was that an ambush message was triggered whenever each wardog spotted a new ratman, even if it was the same ratman.

Yes, seems like its tagging an announcement for every adjacent dog when an enemy is revealed.

I've had a similar issue, only it relates to not finding ANY of the ambushing/theifs on the units list at all (sometimes I like to narrow down where exactly the b**tard is, not "in this melee somewhere."

I looked at this once and extra adjacent creature didn't get it to happen, but something is happening.  I'll have to keep looking.

Many of the dogs were sharing the same square -- maybe that's behind it.
