EDIT: Also forgot to mention that any NPCs in your party that die, will explode along with anything they were carrying. The risks of war are such fun!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that bandits have a 5% chance of dropping an item that they are carrying. This includes weapons, armour and various other items. Also, some development resources. 

EDIT:  Additionally, for the time being, if you are defeated by the creatures/bandits, you will NOT die/go unconcious, but simply be reduced to 1 hp.  This will likely change in the future however.

With this sync, we're pushing closer to PvP. With this iteration, we have released Bandit Combat, and armed our Creatures and both groups will shoot back. Bandit Combat will follow the same rules that govern how Creature Combat works. You enter a square, find bandits, shoot them, they shoot back, punch and pie is had by all.

On that note, for this iteration, it has been decided to restrict creature and bandit spawning to outside of cities. We will investigate in future if we want to lift this restriction and how, but for now, we will continue with the notion that the wilderness is an angry place. Building a city will not kill any creatures or bandits however.

Features:
- Bandits will now spawn following the same rules as Creatures
