Zoom to corpse when zooming to a deceased creature.
« on: May 08, 2009, 12:01:19 am »
You can't zoom to a deceased creature in the unit list.  At one point, I could've sworn it zoomed you to the point where the creature died, but now it does nothing at all.

It would be useful if it let you zoom to the creature's corpse, anyway.  Right now, when I get a death message, it's often a bother to figure out where they died.

Corpses go away rather quickly.

That said, before they completely decompose, you can access them from the stocks list if your bookkeeper has things sufficiently up-to-date.

Once the corpse decays, it could take you to its last location or whatever.

Mostly, it's more useful to have that take you somewhere rather than not work at all.
