DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: July 06, 2023, 02:35:03 pm »
On a new fort, someone in my ~2nd migrant wave brings a buck rabbit. I always geld rabbits & cavies & what have you, so I make the usual detour from the "assign animals to pasture" menu to the list of animals & designate him real quick, nbd. I get the "(whoever decided to do the gelding job) is fighting!" alert, but that happens all the time & I'm presumably trying to design my guild hallway or something while all these new dwarves are rolling up with their grazer pets to mess with my workflow, so I ignore it.
Handful of months later, I notice that I have one (1) unhappy dwarf; I go to check what their damage is & it's the rabbit gelder - he's reliving being attacked. By a pet baby rabbit. It's his only memory. Okay!!
He's still pretty new & not related to anyone I particularly want to keep, so I expel the guy. While he's on his way out, someone spots a snatcher on the way in, & before I even make it to the scene of the crime, said snatcher has been trampled to death in the entryway by some random stray yak cow I wasn't even planning on keeping??
I bestow the title "GoblinKiller Supreme" upon the cow. I resolve to also title & keep any calves she might have in the future (CURRENT CALF COUNT: 2. Good for her).
