Hello everyone,

In my newest fort, "Riverbridged,"  there is a big lake with lots of hungry hungry hippos swimming around in it.  My dwarves are all sitting around munching on raw plump helmets while dreaming of nice juicy *Hippo Roasts*

Is there a way to have my hunters/militia reach/slaughter the hippos in a way that will enable them to be hauled to the butcher?

Thanks!

Divert the river, once there is less than 3/7 deep water where the hippos are, they can be retrieved if killed.

Alternatively, rig the river so that it flows through some fortifications, then spills into a waterfall-like drop, into a pool. Those hippos can get pushed in due to the weird way fortifications and 7/7 water behaves, and then you can close the gateway off, drain the water completely, and slaughter those hippos. Or train them and breed them. Your choice really.
