Nets would be a nice addition to the game, with different uses : fishing, traps, and a weapon.

For fishing, they would give a bonus to the skill or something similar. Or enable the construction of a fishing building.
For traps, they would be like a cage or maybe giant spider webs. I'm not familiar with those though. Victims could break free if a)very strong or b)equipped with a slashing weapon (not a mace, bow, spear and the like). Failure to break free would cause exertion.
As a weapon, like a trap, but wielded by a brave dwarf gladiator.

Nets could be woven from thread at a clothier shop. Or adamantine strands for super tough to cut/break nets.

What do you think of it ?

sure, then the carpenter could turn out one-dwarf rowboats (needs 3 logs, or so) so the fisherdwarf could row out and capture those dwarf-killing carp    which would of course result in a legendary fisherdwarf

I sense irony ... x()

[Wood Gnome]

only on the part of the carp, i was serious about the boat and the net ideas.

[Tanelorn]

I stand corrected then     . I had thought about the boat, but it doesn't make sense on brooks/rivers (since they can be crossed on foot) and I never played on an ocean map because it's ... like ... too much water.

kevin fisherdwarf cancels row boat: interrupted by sea monster

nets: good
boats: good
sea monsters: must have

[Dwarmin]

If we can ever group hunters together and give them missions, maybe there should be a "capture creature" designation? They go out with those nets and cave spider poison darts and try to get it into a cage.

We already have sea monsters, we just need boats and ships.
