[Not a bug] Ranged attacks from very far away

Post by R.K. »

I've noticed swamp slimes and wizard's eyes in RTC start attacking much farther away than in the original game. This led to some nervous running backwards down corridors trying to get out of lightning range (only slightly longer than attack range in DM) when I discovered the eyes did rather more damage than I'd expected. Is this intentional?

The attack ranges and strengths have been tweaked up and down over many years and now about as many people think they're too strong as they're too weak compared to the original - so that probably means they're about right!

If you find any gross anomolies though, let me know.

Having a different view range and attack range though is an interesting idea - can you stick it in the suggestions forum, and I'll probably get around to it when I've got some free time.
