[39e]Goblinized human won't starve or get thirsty or get tired
« on: August 12, 2008, 01:06:45 pm »
I captured a human macelord in a goblin ambush. Then I pitted him in a room with several other goblins who I captured earlier. He's been there three years and is still kicking with no "hungry", "thirsty", "drowsy" or anything of the sort.

Is this supposed to happen? Do abducted races inherit the traits of their abductees because I'm quite sure humans (when you caught them during the great Traders Trigger Traps crisis) could starve to death if locked without support.

No creatures other than your controlled dwarves will ever get hungry, thirsty, or tired.

Traders, diplomats, and all the other fellows who visit your fort without warning and thus end up locked in a little room forever till the end of time all can get hungry, thirsty, tired, crazy, and DEAD.

Hmm, having never done so...I can only postulate, but it might be the difference between "friendly" and not.

His anger against your kind feeds him a far better than any legendary meal.
His rage quenches his thirst as he plots your downfall.
His fury and loathing keeps him from ever needing to sleep, instead driving him to eventually whipe you from the map.

You should pit the guy against a Champion. ^^

Nope, just hover over them with your "v" and they'll get hungry and thirsty and tired before going insane. If you mod in a race which doesn't eat, sleep, or drink, they'll never go insane if they get stuck in your fort.

Not sure if it's the hostility thing.
