I think my fortress will now survive all misfortunes. At least, maybe. We'll see.

I was attacked early on by a were-deer, and one of my dwarves infected; after figuring him out, I managed to confine him to a small burrow and then I just walled him in. He's been pretty content for the last two or three years now.

Oh, he gets thirsty, sure. But then he changes, and when he changes back he's not thirsty anymore.

Since it appears he can't die, and he's walled in so nothing can get to him, he should hold the fort open even if everyone else is killed until new migrants arrive. I'm not sure this is the intended behavior, but it might be handy.

The same trick might well work with a vampire too -- I'll try it if the opportunity presents itself.

That doesn't sound very fun to me... >_>

But, hey, since he's not doing anything else, make him your bookkeeper and manager. He doesn't actually need to SEE your fort to manage and keep records of it.

Yes, vampires don't need to eat, drink, or sleep, so you can wall them up, Cask of Amontillado style, and the fort will live on forever.

Won't the fortress fall when he is changed (not a dwarf) or if all you have are vamps (they are undead, not dwarves) and there are no other dwarves of your group/civ on the map?

Nope. Infact, vampires can wallow around in the undead (fallen and walking) corpses without them taking note. It's an easy way to determine whether or not one of your migrants is a vampire.

Somehow, someway, Fun will happen. It will be Glorious.

The trapped cursed dwarf won't be able to bury/slab all of the bodies, so eventually an angry ghost will murder him.

[Eddren]

OR: The Angry Ghosts will eventually be murdered, as he goes into a fell mood and searches his solitary confinement for some form of dwarf to murder, so that he can create his Dwarf-Bone Toga.

My current fort I had 80 dwarves and invaders off (for a megaproject). Then I had 8 dwarves. It is the !!fun!! wanting you to think that way; it will strike when you least expect it.
