Why would some Amphibian Men appear Friendly?
« on: July 04, 2012, 05:37:30 am »
Like 40 Amphibian men appeared at the reclamation of a fort. Sealed off the lower caverns were they are but lost some dwarves in the process. Now in my units list, about 3 of the amphibian men are listed as Friendly. WTF?

That happens when they kill a forgotten beast or other enemy of your fort.

Check the friendly ones to see who they've killed! :D

They want your dorfs to kill them.

Just, uh, don't kill any of those friendly dwarfish traders that tend to congregate at the edges of your map.

I thought I should add:

This phenomenon was discovered by Killer Clown; he had a Cave Swallow Man kill a forgotten beast at the age of 11.

When you reclaim a fortress any of the humanoid races there may be friendly to you this time.  This is mentioned in the relevant wiki entry.
