I need fresh meat...
« on: July 24, 2010, 03:50:21 am »
So! I just spent the first 10 years of my fort building semi-megaproject execution chambers, only to find out that in the world I generated, goblins are extinct. Any ideas on where I can get a good source of sentient prisoners? Throwing horses down a spike pit gets old fast.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Kill a few human caravans.

Clearly, cakes are the next form of human evolution.

Tick off the elves, I suppose. Either stockpile a lot of wood or just keep killing their caravans until they start attacking.

Will the humans eventually start attacking too if I kill enough? I suppose so... actually, it might be easier to just drop them into my cage traps. Dwarves will get caught in your own traps if they're injured, unconscious, etc. Will the same happen with friendly caravans? 'Cuz I've got a retractable bridge lined below with cage traps.

Dwarfy idea. I think that would work. Report back with some SCIENCE.

Yes, it will work for every creature, but actually knocking them out under a cage trap is (in my experience) really hard. I spent like 20 attempts before I managed to cause a cavein onto a Glacier Titan's head, knocking it out, pushing it into a tile which had a cage trap which wasn't destroyed in the cave-in, without killing it.
