I say you use all the animals for some giant superDFcomputer thing to kill all enemies.. ever! as they arrive on the map.

That or you have good eating for the rest of the fort life.

[kilakan]

Any good animals in there?

Nope, only camels, dogs, and cats(and the young versions of each).

I say you put the Cat back in Catapult and start using the cats as ammo you take out two birds (so to speak unless it's a giant eagle) with one cat.  Now worries and catsplosion and no hauling heavey stone!!!

I don't understand why they brought so many animals. If it was just a bin, then your fortress wealth must have been much lower than that of a regular advanced one, or than any fortress that has mined a bit of HFS stuff. Plus, animals in cages don't cause much more lag than a rock on the ground. Would that mean they brought a hell of a lot of cages, but also gems, bars, cheese, food, socks?

I really don't get it. Please, someone, explain it to me.

It takes a lot of wagons to drive all those cages. And a lot of wagons means a lot of merchants and guards.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he got said wealth in a very small window of time since his fortress came into being?

Perhaps it's the relative increase in value, if he went from a 1000 or so value from starting goods to a 100.000 value from a few bins of adamantine, the 100-fold increase causes a huge amount of merchants, in comparison if a 500.000 fortress produced 100.000 extra, it's only a 0.2 fold increase, not causing heavy merchant spam.

Also if he doesn't have a wagon accessible trade depot all goods are brought with pack animals, which can carry a lot less. Part of the stuff is just not brought, and for the rest they just bring more animals.

Elves don't bring guards.
