Blood

What does it mean when your soldier is bloodied?:hmmm:

A soldier who's been blooded has seen combat; he's experienced.

that he's been hit by a sword.

If you general has alot of blood on him then get him out of their because it means he's about to die. Or that its just that time of the month.

Well this thread has gone off topic pretty fast.

I was just wondering because if there is a unit with one hit point than how is he weaker?

Not anymore. No more spamming guys, stay on topic.

I always believed that when soldiers are covered with blood means they're about to die, since they get bloodier with each hit they get from an enemy.

Trajan--

How are Obi-Wan's and my posts off-topic and spamming? I thought the question was a simple (misspelled) request for a definition of 'blooded', an obscure military term. Thus, my response. If I misinterpret a question and make an honest attempt to answer it, is that by definition spamming? As for Obi-Wan, he answered the question: the soldier is in combat and receiving hits. We could have done without that last part but his post answered the question. Are we now determining topicality by the sentence?

I just want to know what being bloodied symbolizes. If a soldier has blood on him than what does it mean? In terms of statistics.

**AytchMan** · November 10, 2007, 12:02 AM

It can't mean anything in terms of hit points. In vanilla M2, the soldiers in most units have only one. So, if they take a single hit, they're on the floor. It also seems unlikely to be related to morale since that goes up and down but I don't know.

**~Beren~** · November 10, 2007, 12:03 AM

It usually takes more than one hit to kill a soldier.

**AytchMan** · November 10, 2007, 12:06 AM

We may be defining 'hit' differently. If a soldier has one hit point, how can it take multiple hits to kill him? The loss of one hit point -- one hit -- and he's toast. Perhaps you're referring to the battlefield animations?

Perhaps one hit point means something like two or three injury blow, or one fatal blow (i.e. to the head.) So maybe the blood signifies an injury blow, and when they're drenched in blood, one injury blow will kill them.

If your general is full of blood get him out of there, one of my generals died a few seconds after he had started bleeding and I let him fight on. He was only about 25 years old and gotten the born qonqueror trait and some intellectuall traits...

That's what I was thinking as well.

Perhaps it indicates that the enemy has hit your solidier but he was saved by his armour? I mean, the stats provided by his defence skill wasn't enough but the armour/shield stats saved him?
