Enemy NPC

Behaviors and baseline parameters shared by every enemy. Kinds derive from this proto enemy by scaling factors (e.g. a squishy hard-hitter: low hpFactor, high damageFactor and speedFactor) — so tuning the proto tunes the game's overall difficulty and feel. The goblin stands in as the example.

Proto enemy — the baseline every kind scales from

Aggro range

Aggro is edge-to-edge: the enemy notices any opponent whose body edge comes within 16 m of its own. The dashed ring is that reach around the enemy (shown in its 28 m hex); the warrior stands right at the threshold — one step closer and it aggroes.

Static states

Animations

Attack animations belong to abilities (see Abilities). Shared here: receiving damage, and death — the ghost floats up while the token coin-flips to a lootable pouch, the HP bar staying anchored throughout.

Critical hits & misses (fantasy-map rates)

Every landed blow — yours or an enemy's — independently rolls a crit and a miss. A crit (10% chance) multiplies the hit by 1.75× and floats an oversized red number. A miss (10% chance) whiffs entirely: no damage, no knockback, and a gray “Miss” floats up instead. Try the buttons above.

Behavior rules (adopted from fantasy-map)

• Aggro: acquires the nearest living, non-ghost opponent within 16 m (edge to edge). If an enemy hits you while nothing is selected, it becomes your target automatically.
• Chase: 2× base speed toward the target; attacks with everything off cooldown once in reach.
• De-aggro: an enemy damaged within the last 30 s never gives up. After that it abandons when the target escapes beyond 2× aggro range or the chase strays over 40 m from where it started — then it heals to full and walks home at 4× speed.
• Wander: idle enemies amble between random points on their territory edge at base speed (see the Hex grid page for territories).
• Regen: per-enemy rate, paused while in combat (aggroed on a living target, targeted by one, or damaged within the last 5 s).
• Flocking: groups steer around each other and the player instead of stacking — bodies never interpenetrate.
• Ghost players are invisible to enemies: no aggro, and current targets are dropped.
