ANimal attacks

[SumBum]

Somewhat related. I know the opportunity for animals to attack was increased to every hour (?).

? Every hour? I don't know about nothing like this.

This was posted in the game updates thread: "- Animals have a chance of attacking every Cantr-hour, not just twice per day." I wasn't certain of it at the time, hence the (?) at the end of my sentence, but now I've had time to verify it.

Now smaller population just have smallest chance to attack, but attack still.

Yes, but the balance is off. It used to be you could keep a population of 5 wolves and maybe see 1 attack a week, usually less. Now at a population of 4, the wolves are attacking a minimum of once per day. I don't think that killing off the entire species is a valid way to implement IG control over aggression.

Anyway, thank you for addressing the issue and removing the problem until it can be balanced again.

You mentioned wolves - they had a 20% attack chance under the old system. Under that system, 20% did not translate into 20%. Now, it does.

I'm still not clear if that's 20% per pack per hour, or 20% per pack per day, or what. Once that's clarified, I can adjust the numbers. Psychowico, you might have told me this already, but I'm slow, so you have to tell me again.

I thought you canceled them Doug, have you reactivated the attacks in my chars town? Because my char is getting bashed by an elephant now.. Which curiously hits a lot less than a dingo :s

[Doug R.]

I stopped it for animals that had attack chances of 10% or more only.

[Henkie]

AH okay. Is it coincidence I was hit twice in 2 days after a quiet of about 10?

[Doug R.]

Yes

[Sunni Daez]

I noticed that the animal attacks have basically quit? I can't recall the last attack I seen.

[SumBum]

They definitely have not stopped. One of my chars has been struggling against bears. In no way am I complaining about it.... It's an interesting battle for my char, who is novice at hunting, to get the bears before they get him. The bear population has been hovering between 7 and 10 so it seems reasonable they'd be attacking every other day or so.

[Snickie]

The only animal attacks I can remember seeing recently were by the weasels. Even the more aggressive animals seem toned down. Just an observation, not a complaint.

One of mine was attacked by a bear on 3645 I think. Could be wrong about the time, but that sounds about right.

[psychowico]

I don't saw any animal attack around my characters from time, when Doug decrease animal aggressiveness.

[Ronja Rotschopf]

possibly it depends on the animal type. I see regularly attacks of chicken, black goose and fallow deer

[psychowico]

Yes, each type of animal have diffrent aggressiveness value.

Chicken? I want chicken in Polish Zone!

Animals with attack values over 10% were dropped to 0% pending adaptation into the new system.
