Invisible giant cave spider killed me
« on: February 21, 2020, 06:29:57 pm »

Hey everyone. I'm new to adventurer mode (and this forum). I've played fortress mode 3 times before and each time I managed to keep my dwavres going for several years. I decided to sit down and try to figure out adventurer mode. I was exploring the fortress I started off in and went down stairs. I saw some giant cave spider webs and knowing how dangerous one of those arachnids can be, proceeded with caution. I figured if I see it I'll run. However, I was attacked without seeing it and panicked. I tried pressing A to attack in case it was on my tile and nothing happened. Looking all around, I did not see it. I was poisoned and quickly died.
Is this a bug or do I just have no clue how adventurer mode works?

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

Theres currently a frustrating bug with creatures that hide. (sneaking). Which cause them to become unattackable physically. I assume, breath attacks, item throwing, ect. can still hit them tho.

Also the new "intelligent" undead that can turn invisible.  They are basically impossible to fight unless you get a lucky throw with an edged weapon/item and somehow kill them.
