If you add [trAINABLE] to a creature and try to tame them, but they've already killed some of your dwarves, they won't be friendly. The only difference is that your dwarves won't fight back. Idiots.

Have anyone ever tried to engage war with 3 different civs, have them appear at the scene at the same time and then they fight eachother?

[nenjin]

Actually I guess if you're right next to a tower, they'll be living out daily life and then they can be capturable and breedable.

[tastypaste]

My prisoners went into an arena with the captured Dragon and werewolves. Each cage was attached to a lever and they were all released at once. The survivors were shot through the fortifications by my marksdwarfs.

They have to be at war with each other. But, I have seen a Human siege completely annihilate an elven siege.

[MMad]

Heh. You *could* just let them go, I guess. If that even works - I've never actually tried.

It probably took a while for the humans to annihilate the Elves I'm guessing. They'd need to have some time to stop laughing & regain their composure before they slaughter the pointy eared tree huggers who wear wooden armour, carry wooden weapons & ride Unicorns.

I mean seriously, give them some mythril armour or something. A wet paper bag would be more of a challenge.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, one human lived with like 9 wooden arrows in him.

I haven't read this whole thread but as I see it, there are two good categories things to do with prisoners:

1) Display them in places
2) Shove them off of or into things

The last fort in which I had a considerable number of prisoners was Bustnut, and I built a large tower of four copper block pillars with a glass platform on top. Prisoners were led by the hand up the center and shoved off the tower, landing in the fortress' refuse stockpile, and occasionally pieces ended up other places.

I am a fan of the killmaze.

Room full of cages linked to lever in barracks.
Long hallway full of whip weapon traps.
Door to barracks.

If they can make it through, let them be free.

have you checked the 101 uses of goblins thread?
there's a lot of repetition, and a lot of "drop them off cliffs" suggestions, but there are some other interesting suggestions as well.

[sweitx]

So, here`s the deal.

I have a lot of prisoners, both human and goblins, a Titan and some random critters (and a kobold...) so the question is:
What can I do with them?
I have heard of people getting prisoners to be part of their society, but I dunno how.

I suppose I could make an arena and make them fight it off.

I use them as target practice for my Marksdwarves. Just put all their cages in one big room, build a 1-wide moat dividing the cage area and a 2-wide place for your marksdwarves, hook all the cages up to a single lever outside the room, seal the room, station your Marksdwarves on their side, pop open the cages, and let them go wild.

Oh, remember to disarm them before you do this, though.

A much better way is to build their cage above said room, and pit them all.
Make sure the pit are high enough to "hurt" them a little.
And make sure your marksdwarves are far enough that they will take sometime to "hit" them.
