In the new version, I wonder if we can do biological warfare.....
« on: December 18, 2009, 11:23:58 am »
Now picture this. With the new infection system in place we could capture POWs, wound them and trap them in a room till they get a nasty infection. After that you could let them go home full of disease. When they get home they start spreading it to the healthy ones. I wonder if this will be possible?

Not until the caravan arc, but maybe then... right now they just flee and nothing really happens to them.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

The infection might still be active next time they besiege you, so if you turtle they'll probably spread it to the other siegers.

I guess that will have to do for now. Just can't wait to genocide the elfs with disease.

When I opened the thread I was thinking of modded pets full of poison gas, that you let out of cages during a siege. The invaders cut the defenceless animals open, and die because of the gas.
