Summary:
Today I was playing the new Alpha 18 update. All went well, but suddently I was attacked by a Kobold party, composed of two Kobolds Archers and two Kobold Wolfs. I wasn’t too much worried about them, as I had a party composed by a Cleric, an Archer and two Footmans. But suddently it all went the wrong way. The first hit my footmans got from the wolfes, they started running away, not even trying to defend. I don’t know how it ended up, as soon as 5 seconds of my soldiers running away I saved, closed the game and started writing this. I’ll just continue after this.
I hope this won’t continue to repeat as it would suck to have to restart a 20 days long gameplay and I also hope that the devs will solve this for the next update.
What are the stats on your footmen? a low “Spirit” score will have them running away when damaged, monsters seem to have a buff that also causes a moment of fear.
Is this the first time you encounter them with this town?
Do your soldiers have enough Spirit so they have enough courage else they will run away scared
Okay. I’ve played some more. Seems like now my footman (only those) scare themselves when fighting Kobolds Wolfes. Doesn’t matter how much health they have, the first hit they get from a Kobold Wolf they run. My footmans Spirit is 3 and 4. Not too high, but not even that low. Alas tough, if I didn’t upgrade the Third to an Archer then I would have been in trouble. Good.
Also, it seems like my only Cleric is now enjoying mining. Is that even supposed to happen? What the hell is happening?!
This is supposed to happen. These explicit wolves have an ability that will eventually make your soldiers run for a few seconds. This can be very annoying if you don’t have archers yet to kill them off.

I completely missed that when reading this thread, sorry! Do you still have the save file where that is occurring? I’m sure @yshan would love to take a look at that.
Zips should are definitely accepted, I uploaded one yesterday. Folders are not allowed. How large is the .zip? If it exceeds 10 MB you’ll need to upload it to an external file storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and then copy the sharing link here.
Just loaded up the file. I don’t see the Cleric mining, she’s patrolling in-formation with the other combat units. The closest I can get this file to “mining” is disabling her job in the citizens menu, but even then she only picks up the mined resources, she doesn’t actually mine.
