Dead on contact?
« on: February 28, 2009, 08:57:07 am »
I have found that wild animals are dead without even knowing they are there. I have a underground river on my map. I know cause I used the search. But I haven't discovered it yet. And yet by first summer I somehow have snakemen, lizardmen, frogmen, all listed as deceased on the units screen.

It could be that your dwarves are so badass that they murder by way of spores

It is almost certain that you have a waterfall in your cave river.  The aquatic animals get washed over the edge and fall to their deaths, and then show up as deceased on your unit screen.

I'v also had this happen to the fireimps and firemen/magmamen from a magma pool. The magma pool was already exposed upon arriving.

That usually happens because fire imps are pugnacious bastards that will fight anything.  If their first shot hits, they usually get an instant kill, but if it misses, they're quite capable of being kicked to death by a stray camel or something, or even fighting a goblin ambush for you.

Alright, i'll blame their death on a sieging Murkks army. Murkks are hard early game :o
specially since I modded them with steel.

I guess my problems solved then ^_^
