Doomsday Engine

In the original HeXen and Dday 1.8.6, when one approaches an Ettin from behind, at a diagonal angle (i.e. the ones that start facing away from you at the very start of the game), it turns and strikes you instantly.

However in 1.9 beta6.8 and 6.9, the Ettin will instead move around you a set distance before attacking (i.e. it always move the same amount of the left or right of you before attacking).

Not really a big thing by itself, but it might suggest either a little mistake in the Ettin's action code (the Ettin has unique chasing code) or maybe a little different in Dday 1.9's handling of melee attacks.
