Nobles:What to do...
« on: January 23, 2011, 09:17:14 am »
Just as I'm bored, how do all you amazing players out there dispose of those annoying nobles?
I personally am constructing a massive pit over which I am placing a floor, with a hatch in the middle. I place a bed on the hatch, get a lever outside, pull said lever and voila! Chunky noble salsa!
Any flaws with this plan, and should I place their tomb at the bottom of the pit? Is the amusement worth it?

Just asking you clever types out there how you do it!

I figured the guy was a goner too when a noseless bat from hell flew right over the fortifications and attacked.

I don't think you can construct a bed on top of a hatch. They're both buildings   :P .

I normally don't dispose of my annoying nobles, but when I do, I use the Arena, train them in Wrestling without any armor, and pit them against hoards of captured gobbos.


... Or, at least that's what I would do, if my newest for had mandate-y nobles yet :P I am preemptively building an Arena.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

I drop them in the arena, with a full-set of copper weapons and armors, and I put them against werewolves. A lot of werewolves.

The mayor changes yearly as my meeting hall is kinda small, so even that guy who mandated large gems didn't bother me much. If someone begs for it however (had a mayor who wanted mountain goat hoof items chain up my only strand extractor once - poor guy almost starved), they usually get a cave in lever treatment. And a slab engraved to remind the next mayor of their predecessors fate.

Since I tend to embark near volcanos, all I really need is a single retracting bridge to dispose of anything I don't like.
