So we have a change, multiple opponents (old school MO) transferred into Defending. With the change came the four critter engagement cap. I think that the cap is too low as you climb up a ladder. Perhaps we could make some sort of check on the Defending skill to increase the cap.

100th Circle Warmage in goblins? No cap on critters who can engage
100th Circle Trader in Warkins? Cap of four
100th Circle Barbarian in Trekhalos? Cap of seven

I'm using circle as a gauge not as a realist value. It should be based on defending skill. If you are under-hunting then the number of critters can increase if you hunting at or over skill the number caps at four.

The four creature cap came about long before MO was removed (And it became tactics IIRC not defending).

I'm not talking about where skills were grandfathered, I'm talking about where they affect combat. From Elanthipedia...

"Defending indicates your overall ability to defend against attacks, and is in the armor skillset. It replaces Multiple Opponent's functionality as the skill used when being engaged with multiple foes, and also increases your defensive skills so that they're more effective overall."

So is this not true? Does the Defending skill not replace the MO functionality of how many opponents you can handle engaged? If so then that is why my suggestion stands. If not then we need to update the wiki.

Assuming you're talking to me here, you should re-read my post.
