Summary

0003150: Merchants terrified of raccoons

Description

The dwarven caravan just arrived, and a few raccoons were apparently making their way toward my (trap-lined) entrance in order to steal some goodies. As they ran by, the merchants all turned around and fled, including the liaison as he approached from the opposite end of the map. The caravan guards, on the other hand, chased down the raccoons with fervor and bloodlust until they were either dead or out of visual range.

While raccoons aren't [BENIGN] (which would cause friendly units to simply ignore them), they aren't [LARGE_PREDATOR]s and thus probably shouldn't be causing caravans to run for their lives...

(0012395) dree12 (reporter) 2010-09-03 18:36	Elephants aren't large_predator either... I guess maybe LARGE_ROAMING too? But I guess that's not a fix for a raccoon. They are large enough to pose a threat to the traders, I think this might be intentional until we get a better non-fort character ai.
