As I said it's not broken. A throatcut causes more bloodloss than a fingercut. You probably encountered some tough humans, that's all.

It's still nothing compared to what it should be. There doesn't seem to be a chance to actually hit an artery, which would cause massive bleeding and death very quickly, and I've only ever seen a throat have brown damage, even with descriptions like "torn apart", "cut apart", etc. Anything with that kind of damage that bleeds should be dead, and it's happened on multiple humans, elves, and animal men, none of which died from that injury.

How about a syndrome that causes rapid necrosis?

Once I stop being lazy I'll add a syndrome that has several symptoms, probably including necrosis of the bite wound, then massive necrosis of the brain as the end result.

[Naes Draw]

I think I've seen hit arteries, but it was with claws.

Also, that's something to check. The zombies don't bleed.

[Morrigi]

Is there a way to get them to without bleeding to death?

What about using bad thoughts?

What if you made the syndrome cause a large number of weak symptoms that give bad thoughts? Enough of that, and the dwarf should eventually tantrum. Yeah, it isn't turning him into a full-blown zombie, and he can't spread the syndrome any further, but it still has the effect of making bite victims attack other people and wreck stuff.

I'm not even sure it's possible, but making use of thoughts to get the desired effect warrants investigation.

[Morrigi]

It isn't as far as I know of.

You might be able to add a syndrome that causes them to get stunned or pass out or something every other second, like the cave spider bite but way worse.  If you prevent them from walking somewhere but also prevent them from staying unconscious long enough to get hauled away, they will get bad thoughts from being hungry/thirsty and could very well die from it.  Also, don't know if its possible, but if their fingers could be made to rot off and generate miasma that could generate many unhappy thoughts very quickly.

the most annoying thing I notcied is that blood doesn't carry disease. In the arena, I made my dwarf drink another's blood who was infected, and had no side effects

Blood may not act as a method of spreading disease, but you can make a creature whose blood causes disease in others on contact.

The things we do for Science.

how do you make it cause disease? my zombies cause the symptoms I listed earlier with their 'z-matter', and I set their blood to be that same substance. unfortunately the only way it causes a disease, is through a bite, where its apparently 'injected' into the blood of the victim.

if it comes into contact with something, or is ingested, it has no effect 

[Dummedu]

Is there some activity?
