Combat starts when you move thralls/whatever onto the same square of other thralls. To make this not totally impossible, thralls' positions are not hidden on the map.
Vampires can fight each other. At night they basically act as really strong thralls that don't lose their HP in combat unless they take their whole HP in damage. Also if they're on a big stack of allied thralls, the thralls will take combat damage before the vampire does.
Yes vampires can guard buildings at night.
Ppl can't move their coffins once they're placed. Additionally, people can't place their thralls on top of their coffin either.
Another question I got:
We're not sure how its going to work in choosing squares to search. Ie. We don't know how many guards there will be. So if 3 of my thrawls die, which of the remaining ones will search which squares?
If you want to search with multiple thralls you can list it as wanting to search square A1, B1, C1, D1 etc. They would search in that order, so if three of them die you would just search A1.
You'll have a guess of how many squares you can search, because you'll be able to see how many enemy thralls are on the map
I'm also waiting on Drizzle, Manthur, Ghost Hand and Smile......
