Loyal Companions - Dogs

1.4.0

The eight dogs are different to use now. Until today they had the same health, the same speed, the same bite and the same hitbox — they differed only in the size of the model and the coat. The models really are built from each breed's own measurements, but a Saint Bernard ran as fast and bit as hard as a Jack Russell.

Now each breed connects to something the pack already did:

• Bruno the Saint Bernard: 26 health, the hardest bite, the slowest walk
• Scout the Jack Russell: the fastest, and the easiest to hurt
• Pickle the dachshund digs twice as often as anyone else, because a dachshund is bred to dig
• Rufus the retriever fetches from 24 blocks, against 10 for the shortest reach
• Truffle the Pomeranian senses a threat at 20 blocks where Bruno needs 12 — small watchdogs hear it first

The hitbox follows the dog's size as well. It was the same for all eight, so a Pomeranian was as wide to walk into as a Saint Bernard.

You pick a dog for the job now, not for the coat.
