Muffalo killed by hungry fox

[giannikampa]

My Tamed muffalo got attacked and killed by a fox, i would call it a bug or balancing issue:
Why such a big animal won't retailate on attack by a small predator? it colud repel and one shot kill the fox if it only tryied, but it only got stunned while fleeing. Weird

It is a little unusual for the fox to attack the muffalo in the first place given the difference in body size. Was the muffalo injured?

[Bolgfred]

Fleeing, actually should be improved. It's kind of correct that a big animal like a muffalo would fight back, somehow, even when running away.

A) There should be a logic that compares bodySize or something, and turns it into a %-Chance of harming the attacker.
B) Alternative some animals gain a "hoof attack", which is only used, when fleeing.
C) I don't know how the logic works in detail, but animals can turn manhunter whilst being attacked. Sameway animals should turn berserk when getting hit, higher chance while fleeing. This ain't a permanent berserk, but until the hunter is struck down.

I would think that the ai would prevent a fox from attacking something as big as a muffalo.  I don't know if this is true, but on another thread someone said that the code that limits the prey size of a predator is wrong for the fox.

I have had map predators attack my tame muffalo, but only if they were recently injured like in a raid.

This can happen if the predator is starving, too

Leave it, just a little training wasted

Sadly I can't find the screenshot when my Caerbannog Bunny took down a Bear,
but a wolf I can proof

I had an arctic fox hunt and kill (not manhunter) a visitor i had patched up and was hobbling off the map.  It seems injury affects what a predator will consider an acceptable hunting target.

[Shurp]

Yes, predators intentionally go after injured targets, a feature that's actually very realistic.

(as opposed to foxes killing mufallo)

I'm not certain if animals have these options, but can't tamed animals have the option to fight back similar to how we activate them for colonists? If its not in the game I do think at least it should be.

I don't think it is in the game, but in my oppionion combat trained animals ( release )
should get a setting similiar to colonists ( fight / flee / ignore )
