DF Suggestions / Less aggressive civilians
« on: January 24, 2023, 07:55:22 pm »
So just now in game one of my dwarven children, 5 years old, not in a martial trance, saw a yak bull and starts fighting with it, even chasing the animal to the edge of the map - and predictably dying when the animal stopped running away.
This seems to keep happening with my dwarves, they'll see some random animal and chase it down for a fist fight, even if it's a pack of quite large animals, often to hilarious and tragic result.
While just funny in the case of a child, when one of my useful dwarves runs off trying to punch a pack of giraffes to death it's a bit frustrating, why do these civilians have such blood lust to go after animals that aren't even attacking them?
Edit: Oh right an actual suggestion. Perhaps a decision should be made in a potential combat scenario where the dwarf considers his likelihood of success against an opponent or group thereof and if it looks too scary to try running back to the safety of the fort.
