Title: Memorials Vs. Coffins
Post by: JoshBrickstien on November 17, 2010, 04:39:25 pm
Seriously, what's the advantages? I know the memorials are useful for dwarves who met !!Magma!! But, other than that, do they have any bonuses?

Your dwarfs won't run into the thick of combat to place their fallen comrades in coffins. And probably end up joining them.

The advantage is you stop the ghosting without having to claim the body and bury it. The disadvantage is that the body rotting will still cause unhappy thoughts in other dwarves that were friends, as opposed to burying it.

Another mention of ghosts. When were ghosts implemented?

Personally in my graveyard hall, I have the graves with the corresponding memorials right in front of them.
