While I recognize that the game is set up so that villagers don’t just walk into a wolves den, this does create an issue when a hunter is wounded near a den. They are basically left to die an agonizing death while all villagers who attempt to retrieve run away. Note in this particular case there are no wolves in the den… I killed them all. I still cannot retrieve the wounded.
Not certain if this would be considered a bug per se, but labeled it as such just in case.
But the den itself hasn’t been destroyed so that’s why your villagers still retreat. If the den was destroyed then they would go and help the hunter. So long as a den exists wolves could respawn there as far as I know.
I’m currently running a wolf farm, I found 8 wolf dens on a hill, set up a tower and 3 hunters, it’s working well, as soon as a wolf wanders into range the tower fires, alerts the other wolves, I’ve had up to 8 of them attack at once, leaving carcasses everywhere for my hunters to pick up and butcher, I’m well-chuffed with it, it’s giving me a much better supply than deers ever do, but for one problem - my only convenient clay deposit is fairly close to the ‘farm’, consequently, every time the wolves come and there’s action, all my clayminers drop what they’re doing and run out to help the hunters. I’m sure it’s affecting my clay output, but the sad thing is that I have a certain ‘attrition’ level on hunters and miners. My poor villagers must dread getting the knock on the door, “It’s down to the wolf-mine for you, book a place in the graveyard now…”
I’ve played the game in pacifist mode since my first game and a bear mauled a 4 yr old villager to death. So wolf dens are new to me. I was using multiple hunters to keep them in check. I have few deer populations close by so getting rid of the wolf population wasn’t an option. I needed the meat.
In the end the lady hunter lay there waiting until attacked by two respawned wolves which she also killed. Then she got up and walked to the edge of the woods where a laborer could pick her up. One tough villager!
Bears shouldn’t appear in Pacifist mode, no raiders, bears, boars or wolves.
It’s the reason for my inexperience with dens. I’ve mastered the dynamics of pacifist mode so i played this latest town in regular mode. First game i played in regular mode too. I found the pacifist mode getting too easy to win.
Win? confused face…
Win is whatever goal you set at the start for your village.
