Character Damage

Postby Dee » Mon Jul 24, 2006 5:12 pm

Does damage increase by time? Because I think I've noticed this with one of my characters...

Can the same charcater be attacked by two different animals at the same day?

I thought it was no necessary to open a new topic to ask this, according to the main title. 8)

I don't think that they can be attacked twice by the same animal, but they could be attacked twice by animals of the same type.

I've got a 70% of damage on one of my characters, by being attacked by two different animals but nearly at the same moment. I think I should blame the random process of animal fiercing, and nothing else. :?

I believe you can be attacked by the same pack of animals twice, not the same animal. That was a side effect of individualizing animals, if I understand things correctly.

That is what I meant when I said the same animal.

Each pack of animals has a chance to attack 4 times a day each Cantr hour - The chance of attack every time is its (aggressiveness /40) as a percentage.

Each pack of animals which attacks selects a person at random in their current location (or in close proximity if they are travelling) and attacks that person.

This means that one person could be attacked several times in one day.

The chance of attacking has not changed since animals were individualised and whilst the process is different the result is the same - multiple attacks by animals have always been possible (and with the same relative frequency)

Animals are now treated as packs and not individual animals.

I'm a little confused by that. We treat animals as packs. Does it mean that the chance of being attacked by lets say a wolf is the same no matter if there are 2 or 100 wolves in the location?
Also, what about the info on wikipedia saying:
A random percentage is drawn from a normal distribution with a mean of "Aggressiveness / 10" and a standard deviation of +/- 0.3% This is then divided by 4 and if it exceeds a random value drawn from a uniform 0 to 100 scale then the animal attacks.

Is it obsolete as well?

I believe this is the most recent information on animal aggressiveness (last edited in 2013):

http://wiki.cantr.net/index.php/Aggressiveness
Each animal pack has a chance to attack once every Cantr hour - The chance of attack is based on the aggressiveness of the pack, and its size. Larger packs are more prone to attack.
Each animal which attacks selects a person at random in their current location and attacks that person.
This means that one person could be attacked several times in one day.


I do agree the information could be less ambivalent.
