Minor goblin doom diver bug

Whenever the Doom Dive catapult is fired, one of the goblin operators next to the catapult gets hit. This means that more or less with each volley a goblin dies. After two battles with the doom diver catapult the unit is almost wiped out.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I really like the unit, it's actually quite effective I think, and I like the looks and idea of it so I use one in every army

Isnt that on purpose?

I thought of that, but wasn't sure. Could be. It makes sense, but per four fired goblins, one goblin dies. So you'd have to kill one per firing, and increase unit size to make it really realistic

Either way, I'd like to know how I could remove this goblin killing when firing the doom diver.

The Games Workshop Warhammer doom diver set is like 4 models and only losing one goblin per volley in COW is very generous. Goblin machines are basicly more destructive to the goblins and orcs than they are to any enemy they fight, unless you get really lucky with your dice rolls.

I may be wrong here, but it seems like you don't know much about Warhammer Fantasy, and COW is really trying to capture the essence of the table top wargame, using Total War to do it. COW is not trying to make the warhammer universe conform to Total War standards, which is why 'realistic' must be veiwed from the Games Workshop perspective, and COW generally is generally realistic in this regard.

Warhammer Fantasy is a very intersting setting, and if you have not done so, I'd recommend reading some basic material about it online, as it will greatly deepen your COW experience.

couldnt agree more jnecros, and to the OP, no this is NOT a bug, its intentional. im sure gigantus could enlighten you on changing it, if it is possible.

It's possibly a change in the animation of the crew, placing one member in harms way every now and then.
