Vampire mayor options other than execution
« on: January 14, 2015, 09:25:23 pm »

As usual, a vampire has become mayor. I have locked him in his bedroom and have the usual magma or cave-in options for killing him. However: is there any way that he can still talk to diplomats even while locked up? Can negotiations happen through a fortification, vertical bar or somesuch?

You could try, but pretty sure they -have- to be on adjacent tiles.  You could also try burrowing in the mayor and hope he doesn't kill the diplomat/ignore the burrow settings.

Honestly though, you know you can just appoint a new mayor, right? Its probably a bug since its an elected position, but mayors can actually replace themselves once elected.  Then you can pit the vampire somewhere and feed him elves and goblins.  Anytime he gets re-elected mayor just replace him immediately.  There is also magma, ofc.  That would solve the problem splendidly.

When he commits a crime replace him as mayor and convict him.  Get him caged and forbid the cage.  see if, after his reelection, he can diplomat.

If not try with a chain.  Science
