Friendly/useful ghosts
« on: April 20, 2012, 06:43:04 am »
So in DF 2010 i had a fisherdwarf murdered, his ghost appeared in a wall by the river and didnt move for a couple years. well i noticed something weird, in his inventory he had 2 mussels, at one point he started moving around. well guess what he kept gathering more and more fish, and i found if you marked them for dump my dwarves would come get them. so yay i had a fisherdwarf ghost who could pass through walls and bring me fishies during a siege lol. So has anyone ever had anything like this before?

Haha, sounds like a nice bug!

It would make more sense if he sat fishing a lot but didn't ever catch anything. Being a ghost and all.

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Anyone who doesn't have a lever causing global apocalypse isn't playing the game correctly

But it should be easy enough not to use them in a way you feel is dumb while letting other people have their hilarity.

A dwarf who continues his vital role within the fortress out of a sense of duty, even from beyond the icy grip of death? Its not a bug, its a feature!

or maybe Valve goes out of business because they invested too heavily in something which then fails - like, say, human civilization.

Alternatively, initiate strife to refuse additional baked goods, and then abscond.
