> ok got it, stay in forest is what most of you stressed the most, I wasn't sure whether to give chase or not. But now I know. I know where some preps are, only one I can't get is aura. I have no idea why I didn't prep.. feeling confident or something, either way.. thanks alot.
You can get aura. That's all I'll say.
One thing people didn't suggest that I will is to try to know your prey a bit better. When you have a rager even somewhat "on the run" you can be fairly sure he'll run to the village (when I play ragers I avoid doing this and it gets me away pretty often, but most go straight for the village). This, combined with you having pathfinding and them not having pathfinding, equates to you getting to some point in dwarf before them, after they flee. Run PAST them, get camoed, and be ready to ambush. There are two key problems with this:
1. The flee might just be a trick to lure you onto the road so they can trip/bash you to death.
2. They may see you running past them and be smart/not-panicked enough to do a "who pk" and see you camoed, and say "fuck'm" and go elsewhere.
While 1. is a major concern, 2. is less of one. Even if 2. happens, you don't decrease your chance of killing them, and once in a while it'll actually work.
