[39b/c] Donkey has gone stark raving mad!
« on: July 17, 2008, 03:44:48 pm »
I started a new fortress under 39b but due to the pathfinding bug I put very little time into it. I played until late autumn of my first year, but never built a trade depot and so I have a merchant who has been stricken by melancholy.

However, within moments of seeing the message for the merchant going melancholy, I get the message: "Donkey has gone stark raving mad!" Are animals capable of going insane now? I've never seen that before.

This is not new, it's been happening since the 2D version.

I usually see this with mountain goats, so it's not new. Still, it's always a funny message. ;)

I don't know if it can happen to your animals, but merchants and their animals go insane/melancholy/berserk if they're prevented from leaving the map for a certain length of time.
