Bandits are quick to take advantage of any combat, and may join in a battle if they see an opportunity. Players should keep these and similar possibilities in mind when attack monsters. Monsters get no special advantages in Olympia. With a couple of minor exceptions, monsters use the same commands as nobles. The only difference between monsters and nobles is that nobles only queue commands at the beginning of the month, while monsters can queue commands at any time.
Cities offer bounties on some monsters.
For example, a city might offer 10 gold for each rat tail. These can then be sold at city markets to collect the bounty. For example, the base price for elf ears is 2 gold, the base price for nazgul tails is 40 gold, and the base price for centaur hides is 5 gold. At that point the bounty is dropped and a new bounty started. When a bounty is completely filled, it is dropped and a new bounty started.
