I'm pretty sure they are aware of that by now though.

Even with vampire bats too, their feeding method isn't to flap and scratch the shit out of their prey, it's to latch on, take a little bite, and lap up the blood with their lil tongue.endiron wrote:Nowhere is safe. Given that, they obviously need to make bats STRONGER muahahahaLongshanks87 wrote:Vampire bats do attack if you piss them off irl and they are a lot bigger than their cousins.endiron wrote: Also, why are bats roosting outside at night? Wouldn't they be flying around feeding on bugs?
Personally, I've got a claim in my cave, and some still spawn within that claim.
I've gotten my marksman up and bought archery because of this, following the advice to shoot them. Well, that doesn't really work either so far.
Also, vampire bats are about this big
Maybe... if they ARE vampire bats... they could be like leeches -- latching onto free neck or body spots...
And if they act like leeches... they can be weaponized.
Imagine: a raid on a village and suddenly, A ton of bats are loosed, latching onto everyone, draining blood...
I really need to stop giving jorb ideas.

Re: Game Development: Without Batting an Eye
I've seen something popping around in a couple of posts regarding the bat issue, can you verify they can be picked up, lifting or right click lifted?jorb wrote:So don't engage the whole nest at once?Astarisk wrote:But I would consider ants to be a gateway entry into trying to figure out the combat system, sure you can make them dangerous as hell, but then new players to the game might begin to have issues with advancement and trying to feel comfortable with fighting things.
