Bay 12 Games Forum

So yeah, I had a military dwarf die (in the barracks, on his bed) surrounded by his squad who were in training all about him as often happens in a barracks.  I notice the corpse and check the combat screen, nothing.  Check the dead dwarves screen, nothing, 2 of his squaddies are unhappy at having witnessed death.  Bit later I get a message saying 'urist mcmarksdwarf has been found drained of all blood', then he shows up on the death list, still not combat.

  So I figure I have a vampire.  How do a)  locate it?  and b)  make it dead.
 
  Dont say fill the fort with magma, thats already firmly down as c).
I also had a were-gecko show up early on and get driven away with swarms of bone bolts (he turned back into a dwarf and did the dash after a few red injuries) but he didnt actually touch anything.

So im looking for a game on the PC where i control a town/inn/guildhall and heros move out from it for quests and stuff.  Upgrade/research new stuff but dont control the actual questing.  Something like Majesty with a bit less rts stlyings.  Im a rabid DF and LCS player so graphics are no issue, ideas?

So cause im the backward sort of lazy that makes me do stuff like this, im going to copy down the description of my artifact for people to have a look at:
This is a gigantic panda bone ring.  All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is decorated with sheep wool and encircled with bands of gigantic panda bone.  This object menaces with spikes of rope reed fiber and billon.  On the item is an image of forgotten beasts in horse bone.
On the item is an image of Bobrur, the deity of love and rainbows, depicted as a male dwarf in oak.  Bobrur is striking a triumphant pose. (Thats one stylin dwarf god)
On the item is an image of clouds in bishmuthinite.
On the item is an image of iton Trussknife the bride of the lumbering creature and dwarves in horse leather.  iton Trussknife is surrounded by the dwarves.  The arkwork relates to the ascension of the bride of the lumbering creature iton Trussknife to the position of queen of The Rag of Fording in 35.

  So ive seen Elves, humans, dwarves and even goblins doing a bit of the multicultural thing at times and move in to someone elses town, even seen em get into important positions.  2 things about this strike me as really odd (apart from the fruity posing lovegod).  1.  The lumbering forest guys woodwench (can they even talk?) got stuck into head honcherina position.
2.  She did it 35 years into worldgen.

  So apart from really wanting to see some fanart based around Bobur the rainbow shooting dwarvish lovegod, is this kind of this normal for other people?

Gday, im trying to mod the raws so I can tame some of the polar bears and whatnot I have in my animal stockpile.       I changed [PET_EXOTIC] to be [PET] for the creatures I want but nothing is coming up in the kennels.
 
  What is the obvious thing I am missing

So I am playing on the conservative nightmare, will everybody get 50 year sentences or the death penalty?
  Also does heat and more importantly rapsheets diminish over time? one of my recruiters is a football coach with low heart and intel, and he kind of accidentally released some prisoners (the button was right next to the door, what else was he meant to do?)  will it be safe to bring him back to live with the founder or has this guy suddenly become a shit magnet and is better off living with my ninjas and packing heat all the time?

I have had a fell beast turn up, its basically a blob of water with wings.  My military wont be able to hurt this thing right? it has to be crushed or magma bombed?  Also, apparently it spits webs, can this be turned to profit somehow?

its mid spring (12 slate) in my second year and I havent seen any fresh dwarves yet, Ive had dwarf and elf traders, is this a bug, new fix by toady, or just me being paranoid, I dont want to lose the map, I have Elephants, magma and a chasm all within easy reach. Ive been playing dwarves for ages now and Ive never gone this long without immigrants before.

P.S. Huge points to toady for all the extra ambushers, Loving the carnage.
