Anyone else think enemies chase you for too long?

Whenever I stop to do something such as mining copper I have to kill a line of enemies that have been chasing me across half the continent. I know they do give up eventually but perhaps this could be tweaked a bit in future releases? For example they could chase you further only if you have stolen something they are guarding, or if you are low on health and look like easy prey etc.

Next time you are walking thru the ghetto take someones stash and see how long they chase you. Then compare.

The Skeeters definitely have too long of a tracking distance. And if your on a boat breaking LoS and going stealth isn't always a viable option.

They do chase quite a bit. Even if they are 0 threat, it's annoying to hear rocks being thrown at you as 3 greydwarfs chase you for 3 miles straight.

this may need looking at but the mechanic is that they chase you as long as they can see/hear you and then go into search mode for a short time then go home. To get rid of them, hiding works, if you can break LOS and keep quiet.

No because i usually kill them before they manage to chase me long

You can do that, but it's quicker to kill them all in one go once you have reached a destination. They end up in a nice line/pack.

I don't mind. I got my first wolf pelt wearing toll armor because I led a swarm of Gray Dwarves to the foot of a mountain.
