If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

 :o Good point. Kill the unique ones, then you can enslave the now mindless lesser demons?

It might be very interesting to have some intelligent demons in the Hell as well. E.g. the siege on your fortress is lead by a steel-clad intelligent demon with a number of feral minions.

Anyway, enslaving a demon seems more appropriate for a magic ritual than for an animal training. But I wouldn't mind a demonologist binding demons for my fortress. :D

When I looked at the thread title, I auto-thought, "And then, when you mine out every single drop of candy on the map, the site is suddenly cursed and all clowns on the map become tame war clowns at the cost of near-constant uber-clown sieges.."

It seems less awesome now that I've typed it out, but I guess it would be a choice for bored "end-game" dwarves (a choice made only by mining out that last tile of candy)..

I would say "I'd love a tame clown!", but I've never purposefully unleashed any clowns, and have only done so accidentally two or three times :> I love all my forts too much to smear them up with clown paint ;)

Very, very, very good point! Send out an army, with the order to retrieve a clown, they come back, you get the casualty report, the loot, and the clown that can now be put into military squads. I like this so much more than my idea, basically grabbing a clown by the balloons and forcing it to fight for you. I wish unique clowns had something to guarantee they'd be made from a tough material. After fighting through tons of stone angels, I got a clown made of water. I drank him.

Pfft. Clown made of water? He just became a mascot of the hospital. Stick him in the well and kill him off.

They all have [CAN_LEARN] and, oddly, a lot of social skills.

Well, the whole circus is just a big bare slade cavern. They don't have much to do for all eternity but to socialize.

I can just see the announcement... "Don McSatan has organized an Eternal Party at the slade square" Party until the sky falls.
