Units

Units in Caves are the characters or creatures that can perform actions.

Units in Caves, not considering the player-character, can be categorized into 2 main categories, hostile units and friendly units.

Enemies usually refer to enemies of player which mean hostile units.

Enemies of an enemy, say a skeleton, refer to the character and the units different from the faction of the skeleton.

Elite units are units that causes blinking of the enemy sensor when detected. They have superior stats and weapons and more versatile combat pattern comparing to non-elite units.

Killing an unit tends to drop items and weapons that the unit uses, besides items in the general reward pool.

Hostile Units

Hostile units are units that are spawned hostile to the character. Hostile units have a common point in combat pattern. The hostile units near and with a passable way towards the character have a chance to notice the character and then start move towards the character. The closer the distance, the higher the noticing chance. Once the character is in their attack range, hostile units perform actions instead of further moving close towards the character. Ranged hostile units move away from their enemies when the clips/magazines are empty until reloading finishes. Enemies stop chasing the character when the distance between two is too long (~20 tiles).

Below tabled non-elite hostile units and their information. While each elite hostile unit is discussed separately.

Note that cave types here means the cave types that the unit can spawn there, but not including spawning in ways like magic altar summoning, beacons summoning and spawning inside elite rooms (structure).

Friendly Units

Friendly units are units that help the character directly or indirectly. Units that help by combating can also be called allied units.

With this definition, currently the units that are friendly but not allied units are Merchant and Bag Goblin.

Merchant

• Does not attack
• Spawns inside Merchant's House, often invaded by hostile unit
• Character can trade with Merchant for items and equipment

Bag Goblin

Allied units:

All allied units and all hostile units are hostile to each other.

The illusory clone of Invisibility ability is not considered as allied unit or unit since it does not perform any actions.

Factions

Almost all units can be classified into one or more factions. Units from one faction attacks units not from their factions.

• Skeleton
  • Friendly to Goblin, Guard, Mutant
• Goblin
  • Friendly to Skeleton
• Golem
• Ogre
  • Friendly to Mod-up Squad
• Spider
• Slime
• Guard
  • Friendly to Skeleton
• Robot
• Mutant
• Demon
• Factory
• Friendly

Some units are cross-factioned, like Mod-up Squad robots, some of them are half-skeleton and half-robot. Cross-factioned units enjoy not being attacked by units from the 2 factions, which is disadvantageous to character.
