Perhaps I should clarify what I meant. You already hear a sound for when a unit
attacks, but I think it would be cool if you heard a sound for the unit getting
hit. What I had meant by objections was if a unit takes damage from an overtime
affect such as poison you would not hear the getting hit sound again
