Attack of Opportunity

Along with many of the AI changes and additional abilities we also had a close look at Knife/Melee enemies and decided a change was needed to make them feel more effective.

addedThis new state allows a melee enemy to make a free automatic attack on anyone that attempts to move away from them. While it’s a somewhat common thing amongst tabletop miniature games it was something that hadn’t graced Feud yet. Due to the fact you can intentionally spend your action points any way you like it was just far too easy to move and then shoot a melee attacker. You could even double move to a spot far away to lure a melee attacker into an ambush. Now when you attempt to use those types of strategies they come with a painful price.
changedSpeaking of “painful prices” we know many, including ourselves are dealing with a number of changes and challenges to life due to the virus making its way around the world. Everyone is a participant in a “strategy challenge” with no reloads and very real consequences. Our hearts go out to everyone who is having to deal with the situation. If we all can remain calm and remember we’re all part of the human posse, we’ll undoubtedly come out the other side stronger, smarter and healthy.
