I didn't assume that you guys were all such confirmed troglodytes. Will consider how bats work.


I think they're pretty great as-is.
House Bats in particular are my favorite.

Wolves are a different matter entirely, I'd understand them tearing up a player.
But to be beaten to death by ants or bats seems a bit much, feels like you should be able to walk away roughed up.

At least with the ants I kind of feel that; any accident involving them is so ridiculously easy to avoid that I don't mind them being dangerous. But bats might be a bit much.

Ant nest with 4 ants, one is fast and catches you unaware. If you have any less than 46 HHP this is a perma death.

Ohh no I am not falling for any of these tricks again. 5 years, 5 months and 2 days ago you mentioned horses in a little farce. And it took 5 years 4 months and and 28 days for you to get them to me.
Ill believe wolves will be in game when I see it.

Side note, I am loving the updates and just how awesome the game looks and feels.

I was trying to shot bat. 4 from 5 arrows just went to wrong directions, 5th was launched in right direction, but missed. 10 MM, 15agi, with full aim bar and close distance.

Engage them one by one. Don't provoke them. Again, easy to avoid that death.

Alternatively, take a moment to watch each nest before you raid it, to identify if there are any superants.
