[The Bard]

So my dwarves captured and tamed a dragon. Hooray! The problem is, while trying to move it to a more awesome cage, the handler dropped the 'leash' as it were and the dragon decided to run around my fort before I noticed, but after I had saved.

Now, the dragon never killed anyone before hitting the cage traps, but my military is going after it every time and I can't figure out a way to save the poor thing in hopes of starting a breeding program.

Also, it seems like now that I've tamed it, cage traps won't work on it, so I'm at a loss as to what to do. Is there a way, even with df hack to make it not hostile so my military won't murder it anymore?

[TheFlame52]

I don't think there is a way, but if there is, I'm using it on my pet roc.

[The Bard]

I ended up solving the 'him being killed' problem by using gui/gm-editor in dfhack to teleport him into my cage lines, then changing the tame and active invader tags. He marauded into a trap, then my duchess grabbed him and dragged him to the steel cage.

Now he's untrained, but I imagine he'll still be hostile if let out.

First thought: Murder it hard. Death is the best debuff.

Second Thought: Lock it in a room with a mate, remove the babies. They should not be hostile.

[TheFlame52]

My roc can't have babies because there are only male rocs in this world and that makes me sad.

you could turn it into biscuits and roasts. I don't think food can be hostile in this game yet.

Which version are you using, because I was under the impression that the friendly-unit cage trap bug had been fixed.

And no, I'm not killing my valuable flamethrower!

Ever embarked on a terrifying biome?

Food is some of the most lethal stuff there if you aren't careful and/or a vegetarian
