1 hit kill?!?

[Elandhyr]

I found a (seemingly) abandoned mine, but with a claim on it, no palisade or nothing.

I started a village idol on it to remove the claim and built a palisade to protect my (soon to be mine) mine.

Out of nowhere, a bear cape guy with double-headed axe jumps me and kills me (not just unconscious) in one hit, for about 650 damage.

Is it me or is combat a bit unbalanced? Or that axe too powerful? Or at the very least, he could have told me it was his (if it was)?

Unarmored no combat skill characters are easy meals for melee weapons.

Maybe it was his mine?

[Wolfang]

Maybe it was his mine?

Yes but still! Would YOU kill someone if that someone stole the most rarest resource in H&H from you?????

[Avu]

YES!

[Peter]

Yeah, that was a pretty clever idea, bear cape guy. No what are you going to do with the claim?

[DeadlyPencil]

an axe? wouldn't he have had to get like 6 initiative points on you before he could even swing?

[Naerymdan]

With confused combat system, what is initiative points anyway?

I found a (seemingly) abandoned mine,

Does not match well with

but with a claim on it,

Looks like you got a claim jumper's reward. BTW, I bet it was an iron mine
