Dead Animals in cages.
« on: March 22, 2007, 10:19:00 pm »

The Human Caravan showed up and brought three cages containing two Cow Corpses, and a Bull Corpse. This ever happen to anyone before?

I have a save and can take a screenshot.

Weird. I just had a dwarf caravan turn up with two cages in tow, but it didn't occur to me to see what was in them. I couldn't afford to trade for them, so I'll never know . . .

It took me a decade of game years across several fortresses before I figured out how to look inside objects, like cages.

I finally figured it out when I traded for an (expensive) cage that I planned to use for cage traps and later discovered I had a cow calf that had appeared in my [z] Animals list.

Yeah, i had the same problem, whenever the caravan arrived, about 2 or three tiles in from the edge of the map, all the animals would die.

It is probably temperature related, but i don't think it is the temperature of my area, i think it is the animal's initial temperature. They just die too quickly.

Maybe its god's will.... Maybe the death of live stock is a sign of the end of days... (of dwarf fortress)
