v40.13 fistfights
« on: October 03, 2014, 02:16:49 pm »

  Has something changed to make fistfights more fatal?  I've gone through 6 fights now, every one fatal.  (The last 3 were an 11 year old child killing 3 adults during his tantrum)

they were specifically made less fatal for the v40 releases.  I've seen a few fistfights so far, and serious injury has been rare.

I recently had a pretty average dwarf go  berserk.  She killed 16 dwarves before suffocating from a severed spine. I even checked to make sure she wasn't a vampire.

I think its related more to the apathy experienced in adventure mode than anything else. As a precaution brick in the mood dwarves on the workshop if you cant get everything.

Vampires don't die from severed spine and suffocating, but you don't need to be a vampire to kill with punches and kicks. Were the killed dwarves unconscious? For example from broken bones? Kicking or punching unconscious dwarves is very often fatal, even if the attacker has low skill. Maybe the berserk liked to target head.

I thought it was a brilliant idea to make a legendary wrestler, built for fighting crundles and troglodytes. So, I learned that his wife and son just died when a kobold siege popped up, and that his one masterwork crossbow was stolen by a kea. DO NOT have legendary wrestlers around to throw tantrums. He crushed a live and awake guys face in while jogging by, threw the spear the worker was hauling, and crushed a mother and child too. This was in about twelve seconds. Eventually a released blind cave ogre handled him. He ran into the caverns and killed stuff there.
