If it's too much of an issue, you can destroy them manually with DF Hack, and if happiness isn't something you want to deal with at all, there are solutions from DF hack as well.

Personally, I dig a few little crypts in the dirt outside of the fort, and set a 3x3 stockpile for corpses there. I disable corpse hauling on several dwarves, meaning only an unlucky few have the task of dragging goblins underground. On the plus side, they get preferencial treatment, private dining rooms, less tasks but common crafting tasks to give them equal happy thoughts. Once a 3x3 spot is full, I seal it or forbid the pile and they rest in the earth from which they came.

Old versions of DF had Dwarves be whiney, violent, alcoholic children, tantruming at the drop of a hat. If not for the latest updates, the interior of your fort was meaningless. Now there are requirements to deal with growing unhappiness and needs. Fortress mode can be quite boring and easy, but the psyche side is a new set of challenges to overcome.

Remember the old mantra: losing is fun.

Could be the case, for sure. I permanently have a visitor cap of 10 and have had that for quite some time, so the details might be incorrect.

In either case, I'm pretty confident that won't happen to the dwarves in your fort, should you lower the cap.

The last thing I did was introduce a man to a life of poetry and adventure - which mostly was him building houses for me. Also he left his two children unattended in his house for the opportunity...


Once I did find a werebeast living in a cave outside a town. He was in human form. I sat and talked with him for a long time. We chatted about family, values, and just about everything I could get out of him. I like to think that would be a humanizing experience before I put an end to the curse.

Seven dwarves and a wagon. Possibly some cats, dogs, and two randomly chosen work animals. Off to the mountains! Strike the earth!

Just about all I know for zones is that you can make it a main hall/mead hall and stay at that site safely retired. I suggest setting it as a tavern and do some more construction to pass the hours. See if you get any visitors.

I guess if trolls were real things we could try and find out.

Shadowrun is a setting where it's totally reasonable for someone to put a gun to your head after you've soaked lethal damage into stun and gone down. You're not soaking that hit, chummer.

I reckon that's how it's intended. Whether that goes into practice or not is still in question. I think combat has so many other variables - I wonder how useful that would be.

Perhaps a test involving the shield user skill is in order.

Oh, and hammers - less parts fly off, less parts to fight. Crush some skulls. You can equip a group of three people in copper armor with copper warhammers for not a lot of cash in the embark screen.
