Making captured monsters tired before killing them
« on: May 16, 2011, 04:01:22 pm »
I think it would be useful when fighting them with training weapons; even if you wear full armor, it is still a problem for novice warriors to hold their own against a bare-handed goblin or troll.
I was thinking of putting him in a danger room until he is so tired he can barely move - then relaxing as Urist McSwordNoob levels to my heart content.
Has someone ever tried this?

Naked dwarves remove the need to produce more clothing, which means more of your pig tails can be brewed into booze.
I think this is less a problem and more an expression of dwarven priorities.

Be careful that you don't level the goblin up too much in the danger room.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

He will only level dodging, shield and armor. He will have no shield - but if he is tired AND a great dodger, all the better for my purposes. Or not?

Danger rooms levels up fighting and weapon skills too, as spears are parried and swatted aside. Watch out: legendary dodger, fighter, armor user trolls are no good running around.

I do not want to use a danger room, as I consider almost an exploit.
Is there a reliable way to make an enemy tired, other than a danger room?

Contain it in a small room and drop a few dozen kittens on it.  It will tire itself out killing them.  Or be killed by them, it works either way.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
