Donner party dwarves.
« on: November 07, 2010, 11:07:10 pm »
I'm curious. I know you can make it so dwarves can consume the flesh of sentient, but is there a way to allow dwarves to be targeted for slaughter by the butcher? I have a feeling that if there is it will probably declare the butcher a murderer though.

Just arrange for dwarves to have an accident in a spike filled room, disappearing-bridge, or sudden-onset-swimming-pool.

I believe there is a way, but the problem is that then you can't assign them any labors.  It involves removing the tags that deal with intelligence, I think, but don't quote me on that.  So, on their labor screen, you would only get the butcher command.

The best way to go about it would be to make two castes - one butcherable, one not.  Otherwise it'd just be a crapshoot about what labors your dwarves could or could not perform.  You would command the intelligent dwarves, and the others would be their livestock.
