Rhesus Macaque Attack!
« on: October 23, 2010, 08:51:41 am »
Title self explanatory. They keep interrupting and attacking my workers. How can i make my hunters specifically target them?

I don't think you can, but make a military of maybe 2 squads and have them revolve stations around where they are attacking.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.

So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

Chain War Dogs and build walls. Rhesus Macaques will run away from war dogs and other creatures. Wall off to limit the places you need to put the dogs.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

build a few soldiers and hunt them down .. esp hunters .. just switch them to archers activate and kill by list with extreme predjudice..

those monkeys got huge numbers sometimes but they cant hold any liquor .. and/or boltshots :)

(had about 15 one time literally raping poor kitties .. ok rather ripping legs out of it)

I just got a rhesus attack myself, I'm still in the middle of it. They appeared at the same time and location as my immigrants, and several of them were instant military fodder or hunters, so the rhesus monkeys (rhesi?) are getting broken open pretty quickly.

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.

Praise Armok for the bounty, build some butcher's shops, assign a military squad, and fill your larders with delicious monkey brains?

Cage traps also work pretty well, but there's the chance that the monkeys will interrupt the mechanic while they are being built

And when all fails: One last line of large serrated disc traps. Clap your hands in joy while those monkeys get what's coming to them!
Hunting them down with dwarves or the aforementioned cage traps are however prefered. Won't waste that much meat.
