Childrens
« on: December 04, 2012, 12:38:49 pm »

Hello McUrist Forum-Users, sorry about any wtf words i put here, i am a brazilian guy and i don't know some words, and the google tranlate is funny xD.

    I finally found a good use to children. In my current aboveground fortress Inn, i just get a annoying migrant wave, with 7 haulers, 5 adequate in some craftworks, 16 childrens of armok and a adequate diagnosis and surgery (really usefull, cause i don't bring any diagnoser). A Abovegrond fortress, i have just 16 bed in my inn, with a total of 57 dwarves, 23 children (7 from another waves) and the kidnappers doing a really bad work. No single kidnapping to help me, so i remember one post long time ago, i don't remember the name of post  :-\, but i remember about a mad medic, building a evil machinery. He just drop subjects from z-level falls, testing the range of a death fall. If i remember well, was within a range of 12-13 levels. So i start to give children i nice cordless bungee jump, as you see below.

"Uncle Urist, cordless bungee jump is safe :-[?"
"Of course my useless dear nephew, and this is a small drop in my day, we jumped to much greater heights and on top of spears! Besides, your cousin four years younger than you jumped, and you will not jump?"

"But of course I'm going to jump, I'm an brave dwarf son of armork!!!"
"Very well my nephew, I'm proud of you! If all goes well, see you later at the hospital!"
"If all goes we...uaaaaAAahHHHHHHHH!!!"
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
5 z-level, flying children and the hospital (is the beggin of second year, small hospital yet). One friend tell me we can share the table for surgeries, is this true?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another 5 z-level, and a cemetery conveniently near, and some injured childrens. And a happy engraver! Interestingly, this engraver is cousin of the flying children. I have no blood because used dfhack to clean all the walls and floors ( in this wave, i get some animals in my inn, they start to fighting and mess my hall  :(.)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
In previous image, if you close look, you see a adult dwarf. He is miserable because this is worst party evar  >:(.

    So thing to do:

  • Design, the walls around of the pit is to prevent children jump when the bridge opens. The left building is the sheriff office and prison
  • Big Hospital
  • Better Control, i need to drop one by one, or i have the risky to fall in the top of another children

    So, any idea to improvement? Now i have a good supply of medic exp. , and i have found a good use of kids xD. Just care, because is a 90% death ratio, because some children are so radical that they jump headfirst into pit. And some children are weak for this sport. If you want more blood, just make 12/13 z-level, 14 i think is children free  :P.

You are dropping the children because you want them dead?  Or to train your doctor?  Or to have your engraver engrave falling childrens?  What is the exact purpose of this?  To have fun killing the children?

If you want to kill children you can do any number of things, like making this deeper or lava pit or drowning chamber.  A room with spikes place randomly would throw in a random element of fun, although you'd want more to live. . .  Do you kill the survivors?

dropping items on dwarves
For when you want to train dwarves/use science to kill them

Child toughening
Ideas on child torture/toughening

Because this may be what you want to do

I'm rather unsure what you are trying to accomplish, so I don't quite know how to help. . .

No, i don't want all my children dead, i want they injured so my doctor can train up skills.

dropping items on dwarves
To much labor intensive, my pop cap. is 80, so i cant spend all my haulers to hauling this, and traininig dwarves atributes is lesser for me.

Child toughening
I want all my dwarves read for job, i put this low pop cap. to better frame rate.

Because this may be what you want to do
I am not a big fan of danger room, i like more training with goblins anyways =P

Ty for you sugestion =).
