Invaders not suiciding when all other creeps dead



  • I recently got attacked by a group of invaders, and I tried to kill all my creeps to get rid of them, since I had heard they were supposed to suicide when all creeps are dead, but it didn't work.

    For several ticks you can see here there are no creeps other than the invaders:

    Invaders in owned rooms will suicide when the following two conditions are met:

    • No other creeps in the room.
    • An open path to every spawn in the room can be found.

    Until then, the room is considered "dangerous" for them, so they will try to break in.



  • At this point it feels like we're playing against you, Artem; not against each other...

    Yes, that's kind of annoying, especially for lower level players

    This is very unusual view point. Well yes, when you fight some NPC monsters in any video game, you play against its creators somehow.

    These are PvE and PvP aspects of every online game basically. Screeps is not supposed to be PvP-only in that regard.
