This is pretty unrealistic, while the Queen might not be able to play the piano she can sure as hell slash a target the size of the average adult male consistently and quickly.

My suggestion is not that the model be made smaller, but that if the queen is using the harm or diarm intent that she can only click on herself in the center tile. Essentially, her model is visible but is only clickable on the tile she's actually standing on when she's trying to knock someone over or kill them.

If someone is directly above the queen, they're basically immune to attacks, which is really.. just.. ew. :dodgy:
wrong forum

We used to have united forums once ... now we dont :P .

OT: I agree , we need to sort out the queen hitbox.

I wouldn't get too 100% locked in with this, since eventually, possibly, maybe, queens will be stationary and function like AI.
