40d Talk:Ambush
Yesterday, I had an ambush. My woodcutter was ambushed by a group of one goblin bowman and five swordsmen. They were invisible, until attacked him. I had never seen anything like this until 38a. Think, it's something new, should we add the article? What do you think?--Dorten 23:23, 6 February 2008 (EST)
- yes definitely. I have been ambushed 3 times already in one year. These attacks seem to coincide with trading caravans. --Kingzilla 23:28, 6 February 2008 (EST)
- Is this really new? I started with 38a, but from reading i never expected anything else than thieves and ambushes with every caravan.--Koltom 23:17, 29 February 2008 (EST)
- 38a was the first time that caravans caused direct attacks. Previously the only worry was theives which could be easily defeated by recruits.

Ambush messages
In my experience with last version (38a) it showed 'Ambush, curse them' on kobold thieves, and 'Amush!' on beforementioned goblins. This surely needs verification--Dorten 01:10, 7 February 2008 (EST)
- I have:
- 38a
- Kobold thieves (2): An ambush! curse them!
- Goblins: An ambush! curse them!
- 38c
- Kobold thieves (2): Thief! protect the hoard from skulking filth! (the different message may be caused by increased wealth)
- Goblins: An ambush! curse them!
- You can read back the whole announcements log (page up key) if you have the patience ;) --Koltom 23:17, 29 February 2008 (EST)
Toady stated that the "Ambush!" message appearing for kobold thieves was a bug, and it has now been fixed. Furiousfish 21:26, 6 March 2008 (EST)
Enemy squad supposedly fleeing after the commander's death
Well, in my case he got caged, does that count? The squad of the 5 remaining goblin bowmen, however did not retreat, and continued to advance until torn apart by dogs. Only 1, last(after the other 4 died) goblin started retreating. That was 38a. --Digger 05:07, 1 March 2008 (EST)
- I just had my marksdwarves pump a goblin leader full of timber, and his squadmates just charged. --Shadow archmagi 08:15, 1 March 2008 (EST)
- Alright I'm killing that part then. It's obviously wrong now. --Digger 09:44, 1 March 2008 (EST)
- yep, just had an ambush too: leader dead, 1 unconscious, rest dead, and the last bowman was still charging.--Koltom 11:49, 1 March 2008 (EST)
