Child Kidnappers and Thieves
« on: August 19, 2006, 08:43:00 pm »
Is it possible to capture these criminals? I never actually see them. All I get is annoucements "child kidnaped" and "child died in a cage" for all my children real fast   :(

At least the kidnapper could hide the bodies in the shed or something instead of just dumping them in the graveyard. Wouldn't they just be a "child killer" instead of a "kidnapper" if all they do is kill em?

It's possible to catch them, then you'll know more.  The "dies in a cage" message is a known error that relates to how the child is exported off the site map.

I've got a similar problem. Only not only do I have a bunch of dead babies, but no one will go move them (even if I assign someone to just burial), so they're just sitting there rotting.

...shouldn't the sheriff be busy catching them?  I mean, that's what we're getting him all those fancy things for.  I know his schedule is probably pretty full what with all the slaughtering fellow dwarves for littering and all, but...

Build some cage traps at your entrances.  You'll be surprised at what you find.

Oh, well they leave their corpses behind even if they're bein' kidnapped. Part of the bug I guess.
