How would coward code stop trains? Seems to me having mobs
run away because you're red to them and aggroing other mobs
would cause more trains. I think you're thinking of the code
that makes it so green mobs that normally aggro on you won't
unless they actually see you (i.e. they can't be triggered by
another aggro mob that runs past them).

They started conning indifferent when I hit around L23. It's
since been raised to like L28 I think (a lot of bards were
complaining about invis not working on stuff anymore). This
was a long long time ago, like last summer.

There *is* something screwy with they way they've classified
undead and normal mobs.
