Haunted areas - dead undead fear?
« on: January 20, 2014, 11:29:56 pm »

So, trying to establish a fort in a haunted area for the first time.

I don't mind the death, the undead, the pain and horror. I DO mind that dwarves can't do anything at all if there is an undead thing anywhere on the %$# map and that they run like little girls.

My present problem, however, is that there is a dead undead thing outside the small cave I've managed to excavate. They are petrified of it, even though it is dead and not moving, and so will rather die of thirst in the cold than get inside with the booze. When I form the army, they can stand on it and it doesn't do anything, and I can't kill it, 'cos it's dead.

Anyone know of what the problem might be? I'm stumped here.

Because DF players are heavily into pain.

Just wait for pulping-it's in the next release.
In the meantime, draft everyone and leeoroy jenkins it, and hope you can get some cage-traps up before it rises up again.
