Questions for the !!Scientists!!.
« on: December 09, 2014, 01:27:41 am »

So, I recently read that Ghosts can be brought back and turned murderous by destroying their slab. Naturally, this led to some questions about potential applications:

1. Is this actually true?
2. Can a mass-deslabbing result in raising an army of ghostly warriors to field against the goblins?
3. Is it possible to reconstruct the slabs fast enough to prevent the fortress falling to its own army?

Anyone with experience's input is appreciated. I'll be performing my own testing sometime tomorrow.

1. Yes, ghosts that have their "rest" disturbed by having the slab deconstructed/destroyed will be murderous.

2. No, they will just murder your citizens, resulting in mass Fun.

3. Yes, considering that the ghost spawn rate is very slow (once a month or so?) and the murder rate is also slow.
