Should Skeletons bleed?

[bobsoup]

I'm loving CoD levels so far, but curious, are the skeletons intended to bleed? Does the necromancy give them some sort of lifeblood?

/ not under bugs because I don't know it is a bug.

bobsoup - it would be awesome to have different bleed animations for different monster types, but it isn't something we can add to Heroes at this point.

You can temporarily disable blood if that make you feel the game better

Lol... doesn't bother me... was just curious.


Hey, they're magic. I'm fine with an explanation that the process of re animating them also gives them blood. :thumbup:

Skeletons, and Wraiths, were added to the game long after the blood and damage code was baked into the foundation.

We're already planning ahead for this in TA 2, however, having seen what can happen in HoS.

Might as well take the opportunity to confirm: skeletons are equally sensitive to damage from blades, pikes, and hammers, right?

They have there own stats just like everybody else so what you see is pretty much what you get. There is one exception, the enemy's toughness is not displayed and it gives an extra soak, like armor, against physical damage. If you're finding them harder to kill it is possible that they have extra toughness. I never noticed that though. The Wraiths especially have super high armor, so they're a great candidate for magical damage, especially holy damage, if you got it.

There is no difference in the game between the damage of different weapon types (blades, bows, spears, etc).
