== What are we testing? ==

Today's test games include changes to AI Zombie behaviour and the continued testing of Slimes.

=== AI Behaviour ===
Since their introduction AI Zombies have had a fatal flaw of being bad teammates due to feeding and extending dwarf rampages. To address this some changes to AI spawning and targeting have been made.

==== Spawning ====
AI Zombies will no longer spawn on dwarves during and for the short period following the end of their rampage. This is to curb spawn camping by no longer feeding a constant stream of AI zombies to the players up front due to their proximity to player monsters.

AI Zombies will no longer spawn inside of walls.

==== Risk Adversity ====
The majority of AI zombies will now spawn with a trait which, when targeting a rampaging dwarf, will cause them to either switch targets to another nearby dwarf or flee. This is to prevent AIs from intentionally feeding a dwarf's rampage and instead make the dwarf work harder to extend their rampage.

==== Bloodthirsty ====
AI Zombies can now spawn with a trait to switch targets to nearby dwarves that have less mana and are bleeding.

=== Slimes ===
If you've joined any of our recent map tests, you may have noticed that [[Slime|slimes]] currently spawn as regular special monsters on the test server. This is a change we're considering making in the future, so your feedback is appreciated.
