a little question about perception
« on: March 23, 2012, 02:28:55 am »

can anyone tell me how to alter that? Ive got all these neat animals, but some of them REALLY suck at spotting enemies. example: dogs can spot kobolds pretty easy but GDS cannot. I was positioning my GDS's just inside my front gate to catch and kill any "fortunate" thieves that got past some of the traps. the problem is, the scorpions have HORRIBLE perception. they let almost everything through and I end up finding kobolds in the vualts and goblins in the nursery. its this way with a few other critters too. mostly insects... hm, there might be something there. but anyways, the original question, does anyone know what I can alter to improve my insects/arachnids ability to spot hidden enemies? while I wait for a response, I guess Ill look through the raws myself as well. thanks in advance.

It's the observer skill, I can't remember the exact tag, but I'm sure the wiki has it. When you do find it, just stick it on whatever animal entry you want, and make them natural legendaries.

Maybe war animals get a bonus to sight. Try giving the GDS the [TRAINABLE] tag and train them in the kennel. Even if it doesn't work you still get some war desert scorpions out of it.

Maybe the dogs' keen sense of smell helps...somehow?
