I don't remember ever having a monster flee from combat in nethack... course, it's been a few years since I've played it.

Only certain ones were coded to, and even then they often didn't ..tended to be intelligent, fast, and only when badly wounded.

It went tiled fifteen years ago at least, though you can still play in text. No real animation, however, as far as I've seen.

back on topic...

mobs that cluster before charging our hero?

Post by **phydeaux** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:09 pm

Clustering would be a kewl attribute, hehe, you'd start seeing everyone scrambling to up their cleave skill, which is both op and not op, as it takes 12 levels for each upgrade, but each upgrade is a 3 ap return... lol, everyone I see someone complaining about why they added skill points to hard hit and/or weapon accuracy I think to myself, it's because you were going for cleave! Of corse, allowing mobs to move during battle sequence would also give reason for cleave... Especially if some of them had a trumpet/call for help ability, something that would call all mobs on map into the battle..

Yes, that would rock! I'm trying to think through the code changes that might make that possible...
