Entities and ambushing
« on: February 25, 2008, 08:18:00 am »
Any of you know how to get a specific entity to ambush, as when you suddendly receive the "An ambush"message and there are 4-5 goblins near your dwarves? Apparently, it's not the AMBUSHER flags, because goblins don't have it. I'm making some new nuisance and evil entities, and they just don't seem to attack like the goblins did...

Don't base assumptions on one instance. Golblins have the [BABYSNATCHER] tag which incorporates sieging, ambushing, and babysnatching.

I thought Toady fixed that kind of behavior since 33g... At least I remember him saying that civ_controllable and babysnatcher no longer had underlying implied meanings..

That's why I assumed BABYSNATCHER didn't make them ambush - Toady said that he removed the hidden implications...

Babysnatchers won't come unless you have children.
