Monkeysplotion
« on: January 07, 2009, 05:59:52 pm »
So I randomly caught 7 Rhesus Macaque (sp?) in some cage traps... Wanting to have the cages back, I tamed them and started butchering them.

Unfortunately a Miller, soon to be Wrestler, adopted 3 of the screeching poo flingers.  Part of me would dearly love to see my fortress be over run by monkeys, but I'm thinking of modding them, so I can make them War Monkeys. :D. 

I'm building also large arch, so I could make a bunch of small bridges and station the monkeys on the bridges in the arch.  Then when a goblin invader steps on the pressure plate it would retract the bridge directly overhead, and dump a monkey on it. from 5-6 z-levels. probably won't do much more than stun the goblin and the monkey, but that should be enough for my military to rush in and finish the invaders off.

Edit: jst some spelling.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

Kill them quickly before they learn the way of the cat and butcher your fps.

I read the title of this thread as "Monkeysploitation" and was reminded of the exploitation movies of the seventies, my only experience of them being what I see in Quentin Tarantino films, primarily Grindhouse.

Monkeys... in cages!!

I also quote a forumgoer far wittier than me when I say "There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus."

There were quite a few Monkeysploitation films... Any Which Way but Loose(Clint Eastwood+an orangotang) and I think it had a sequal. Planet of the Apes, and then theres Gorrillas in the Mist which is about Monkeysploitation.

Oh, right, Planet of the Apes. Yeah. Should've thought of that.

Yeah.

Cram em all into a cage a fair way from your entrance and hook it too a lever.  Wait for those irritating goblin archers to turn up then flick.  Instant chittering meatshield with an added bonus of a pile of wounded/dead cute little monkeys.  Nothing funnier than a rhesus monkey with an arrow in its arse.
