Attack of the @'s
« on: October 31, 2007, 03:10:00 pm »
I recently messed about digging a tunnel in a cliff then abandoned and reclaimed the area. When I reclaimed the area there was no combat to speak of untill I sent a soldier to chase off a giant jaguar. He went after it and followed it down a tunnel and to my suprise it was in combat with an @ by the name of Edem Ingishcatten. He was a miner in the old group and came with the message of "An ambush!  Drive them out!"

Is my old fort trying to kill me?

could it have been part of the HIDDEN FUN STUFF mentioned in the development?

Wow, that is really cool I hope it's a feature, not a bug.  But I thought when you abandon a fortress, all your dwarves leave?

So far I have yet to encounter any more people but I think it might have had something to do with the fact that he was really unhappy. In anycase a skilled miner is no match for seven axedwarves.

I noticed that when I reclaim a fortress, some of my dwarves are still there.
So far they've been friendly and just stand around doing nothing.

I didn't get a chance to see before he was eaten by the Jaguar. But I did get the ambush message.

UPDATED: I have found a farmer that got devoured along with a miner by a saltwater crocodile... I find it odd that there is a saltwater crocodile at the top of a cliff in the mountains far away from any body of water. Anyway the crocodile is called Tithlethotin "Rumoredwine"... Is the name a coincidence or is it just because it ate two dwarves?
