Can't attack townsfolk

[Napsterbater]

Not sure if this is a vanilla thing or if it's specific to unangband, but I can't attack townsfolk, unless they're merchants or veterans. I just push them out of the way. Ordinarily this isn't a problem, but I got to the bottom of a dungeon where it looked like a town, and I couldn't attack the legions of fairies that spawned with the fairy masters. Got killed by the shard hounds that eventually spawned there. Also got diseased by cockroaches in Bree that I couldn't kill.

You can "force an attack" by typing a plus sign before the arrow key to move.

This certainly isn't a Vanilla feature.

But it's very similar to one. (The V "jump" '-' command means essentially the same thing, except for traps rather than townspeople.)

That said, you shouldn't be able to push past giant cockroaches--they need to be squashed like the noxious insects they are.

I think he was talking about being unable to attack townspeople, not the force-attack command. You don't really need a force attack command in V because by default your character is a psychotic mass murderer

I might become a psychotic mass murderer if every single person in my town tried to beg off me, steal from me, assault me or drool on me.

Not everyone. Farmer Magot moans at you instead.
