reading up on the Challenges, i keep thinking about the Geneva Convention challenge. in this, you do not kill enemies and give prisoners their clothes and whatnot. i'm not interested in being peaceful with the goblins, but if i manage to cage one of them, is it possible to keep them hanging around (without a cage), or will they always be hostile? i'm trying to set up a prison for goblins. if this doesn't work, i've got a labyrinth that ends in a catapult firing range.

I'm pretty sure thats in violation with the Third Geneva Convention..

But I've been thinking about doing something similar with my caged human and goblin POWs

Release them into a room with a purple, and if they kill'em, tame, then repeat.

They'll always be hostile, but that's easily fixed by making a seperate, closed off area for them to hang about in. They don't move, eat or even go crazy. All of my PoWs are put in an arena full of Skarp, or wardogs if Skarp are not around the fortress area, which is a sort of mercy because said Goblins are probably suicide attackers seeing as they willingly charged right at my balistas in the earlier battle.

Now there's a bit of an Idea: Set up little storage areas for each of the species you capture, and when you get attackers, make it so you can send their respective enemy species out at them, pokemon style.

Maybe a trap door style would work, like keeping them 1 Z level underground with a closed off ramp pointing at the enemy. It's kinda WWII ambush tech-savvy to boot.

You'd need a way to deposit them though, that might get tricky.

easy, just set up an air-lock style hallway with two doors.

it would work like this, have a hallway attached to your prison center and the outside, have the caged prisoner placed in the hallway and rig the cage to open when a lever is pulled.

lock the door that leads to the outside, but leave the other one unlocked. open the cage, and when the goblin goes into the prison, lock the door behind him.

unlock the hallway entrance.

repeat for more prisoners
