Heroes and Death

[Iltaran]

Yesterday one of my Characters, who's a Hero, got wounded in battle. I was under the impression that this was supposed to be fatal, but instead its just acted like a normal wound (went from normal to serious)

Has there been a change to how Heroes work, or is this a bug?

That's normal. Heros can get wounds. he might die, but he'll most likely fall in battle.

Unless they changed the way hero deaths work, a hero will first get wounded like any other noble. If he should get seriously wounded later in the battle, he'll die.

Ah, so basically its a case of me being a silly newbie :)

No problem, Iltaran, we were all there at one time. :)

Heroes can die if they are sufficiently wounded, in battle or otherwise.  That is the extent of their "death possibility".

There was a case not too long ago in Sirion where some hero got seriously wounded in battle. However, this is just hearsay because I wasn't in the battle, and the player claimed that. I don't remember who, but maybe someone in Sirion can confirm or refute.

Remember that "seriously wounded" is simply text now, as we have wound rates. :)

I'm not entirely sure, but if the situation you described happened it would be that he somehow was wounded enough to be considered "serious" but not enough to die.

This was on stable EC, so it could have been before the combat and wounding update. But was it possible for a hero to be seriously wounded in battle and not die according to the old code?

I can't recall seeing something like that. IF it happened, I assume it was due to a bug.
