i started a fort that was more successful then ever before, i might have even gotten to a goblin siege, but no.

MY ENTIRE FORT WAS LOST TO A NAMED CAVE CROCODILE, even the military couldn't stop it, it really stinks all the work i put into my first successful fort, and a CROCODILE surprise, he blew it down the drain.





dang...

Marksdwarf or two should handle it, I've seen Hunters take down Cave Crocs.

Here's a fun tip. Cave Crocs are set to destroy wooden buildings. Build a little wooden wall/door in the caverns with a load of cage traps around it. The croc will see the door and be overcome in a blind rage as a wooden door once killed his parents, he will lose all common sense and walk straight in to the traps.

Hey while on the subject of large aquatic reptiles:

605: Sporroostsi, "Rainbreached", town
   Owner: The Indigo Councils, humans
   Parent Civ: The Kingdom of Gullies, humans
   4509 humans
   1113 goblins
   1100 cats
   46 water buffalos
   1100 turkeys
   4 goats
   1 alligator outcast
   39 human outcasts

WTF?  Also love the catsplosion.

Crocs are no jokes, and enough kills (or a particularly noteworthy kill) animals will recieve names.  Bummer, but reclaim for vengence.

Put all the new migrants in to a pit and have a monster tear them apart. Free super monster, just add goblins.

Wait, can you tame named creatures? That'd be awesome.

IIRC, they'll always be hostile, even if you tame them, if they've killed a dwarf. Though I'm guessing based off invasion mount behavior and old comments of tasting dwarven blood.

Build a seperate hole to the pit with a bridge and a lever.  Dump in any... parasites.

Also I kinda hope that some pissed off dwarf or gremlin or something pulls it too, for hahas.

The same thing happened to me but I had no military so it was even worse.

Animals can also gain names after being tamed to becoming war machines.

I once had a War 'Boatmurder Days' Elephant I got from the hippies which earned a name. [The mod I play has Elephants and Boatmurder Day Elephants]

Similar thing happened to me, but it ended with a dwarf I nicked named "Steve Irwin" beating it for two weeks with his bare hands.
