Seemed odd to me when it happened. I laughed out loud, but definitely seemed odd. Didn't see anything about whether this should happen with a big of quick googling, though I didn't really spend much time at all looking into it because it just screams "not supposed to happen!" at me.

Madmen and mummies often duked it out in SRo. Not sure about zombies, but seems wrong. I have old screenshots of orc warriors fighting mummies in the desert, too.

OP, Fixed, pending update.

NPCs which should fight each other.. need specifics/evidence and we will fix it up.

Screenshots are from 2001 (Velious Era).

awesome max! WTB that forced UI! fuck!

[Sundawg]

Mummies and Ghouls in the deserts of Ro will attack Orcs and Madmen.

Fixed, Pending update.


I could not get Dry Bones to fight Orcs when I researched this, and in that picture above one would think if the orc was under attack by that Dry Bone it would of taken some hefty damage by the much stronger Dry Bones.

Also the Dry Bone does not look like its facing the orc, but maybe it is. /shrug

More thoughts please before I do anything with a drybone/orc war.

Maybe drybone was just "spectating"... alas, I do not have logs from 2001.

Ok, I think I've found out what goes on with them. The mummies will attack orcs on their own (and I suppose madmen). The ghouls and drybones will never initiate attacks on their own, but if they come across a Mummy in battle, they will assist it in killing the Orc(s).

I'll implement it thus.

This might turn it around for SRO adventurers.
