Hunters don't rest when injured
« on: January 01, 2007, 06:14:00 pm »

Hunters will continue searching for and attacking animals even if moderately injured.  I had a hunter with brown wounds keep hunting until I drafted him, causing him to immediately head for a bed to rest.  This probably is a significant contributor hunter mortality.

Brown wounds are considered minimal. It's only when it hits yellow that they need to rest.

Right, brown wounds don't affect performance, but they mean getting a broken, mangled, or even missing part is a lot easier, and if your leg gets broken, you can forget about running away.  Furthermore, note that he got a rest job after being activated.  If soldiers think that's bad enough to send them to bed, you'd think the more-vulnerable hunters would do so too.

That's odd.  I've noticed soldiers, civilians, animals, and invaders tend to break off fighting when they get a brown wound.  I agree with you -- hunters ought to Rest once they get brown wounds.

The people that spar tend to stop sparring when they have even minor injuries, to avoid major injuries.  I didn't do similar things for hunting since there are a lot of things to do with hunting and I haven't gotten there yet.
