PSA: Ants show no mercy when you're riding a horse

Post by Hithroc »

So I decided to raid an ant hill while I was riding a horse.
I kited them out easily and started the raiding. Only after that I noticed that one of these ants is actually a race car ant (the one that runs very quickly). It was too late and the ant knocked me out. I thought: "Well, it's okay, I just lost some HHP". But ants didn't stop attacking me after I got knocked out, they decided to put my raiding to the complete end. And poof! I'm dead.
I think the same thing happens with foxes.
So be careful out there and don't die to such stupid things!
Behold the might of the arakkoa!

The only thing stopping ants is cliffs and deep water.

it seems somewhat random, but most of the time the ants will only hit you once after KO and then go away, but sometimes they'll just keep going, the ruthless bastards... Same thing happened to a friend of mine, one of the racecar ants got him and then just kept going until he died. don't know that it has anything to do with the horse though

Haven't all animals done that since like... W6, I want to say? Whenever they changed them so they'd actually kill you sometimes. I know ants definitely killed a few scrubs in my villages.

Ants will attack you until you're knocked out. Then they will attack you again, but only one more time(each). Since ants do 15 damage, they can easily kill you if you're low on HP.
Also, horses and auroches doesnt seem to kill you once you're ko'ed.
