Carp Problems
« on: December 09, 2008, 09:27:02 pm »

I have a river full of carp, pike and longnose gars. They don't really disturb me much but there are so many of them and they are really killing my framerate.
So I stationed a few marksdwarves near the river and waited for them to rain hell on the fish. Unfortunately they stood there and did nothing. How am I supposed to kill off those fish?

First off build some sort of Fortification line or a big trench away from the river that'll keep your guys from getting too close. Then, use m -> scroll to the leader of the squad in question, hit v -> and hit a. They'll harass all dangerous animals (carp!!). However, carp don't just kill framerate, they brutalize your dwarves in the most mind blowing way.

even if you mod a race that are innate swimmers, they're still incredibly deadly. I had a guy just walk by a lake with carp in it and nearly got his leg broke before escaping.
