Hmm, that's another question. I'f you're hunting critters with anti-critter/animal weapons, and the tile they're on happens to have a mineral (normal) deposit, which will the cotters harvest first? The dropped crafting items, minerals or hides?

They mill around on the square looking for new owners.

Would just like to elaborate here and suggest something. I meant here if you killed critters on a basic minerals patch and lost crafted item bearing troops too. What will the cotters go for first?

I think it should be (most usefully) a situation where a list for prioritizing cotter gathering items should be.

OK, that didn't make much sense to me after i typed it either.

Lemme show what i mean. You can now gather 5 different types of stuff with cotters. crafted items from battle, B minerals, B herbs, Hides and Grapes. How about a list where YOU show what they are supposed to go for, for EG:

1.Crafted items
2.Hides
3.Minerals
4.Grapes
5.Herbs

This would work best on the quoted example above, with MAYBE the possibility for the cotters to carry on with 2 if 1 is exhausted, perhaps?

So do they take same % loss as items or if I lose 100 troops will there be 100 riding horses on the squ?

And how do you know horses are milling around? (after a NPC battle) and who collects those? ALL  specialty horses sent into battle? 
*short of draught horses* of course.

And if a scritcher or worm or spider is on the square with the horses.. how's that work to collect?

*has found that it is a piece of armour and a sword for leftovers of T3 specialties* on the affected square.

Folks,

Likely I'm blind...but I'm struggling with the formation of elite units. yes...all of the applicable research is completed.

Thanks!

How will this effect looting gear vs. hides on a mineral or herb square, since already if you kill animals on a square with minerals and or herbs you never get to loot the hides before they rot since the cotters always loot it appears from the top down thus minerals/herbs?

Send more cotters (at the same time).

Big battle site = newb paradise.
