Ratmen luring more ratmen luring more ratmen?
« on: September 01, 2006, 11:38:00 pm »

Well, I beat the game, and I thought everything would be easy from now on. However, if I guess correctly, having rotting food in one's fortress attracts ratmen. Because of this, after the giant battle, there was alot of rotting stuff. This lured in ratmen. They wern't hard to kill, but there certainly were alot of them. So, while my population was recovering, and shipping out corpses, MORE ratmen attacked, in larger numbers. I dispatched them again, and then ratmen attacked again. And again. And again. And once more. And then I quit. So, my proposal is that, if rotting corpses do indeed attract ratmen, please dont let thoes corpses include the ratmen themselves. It creates an... Exponential problem.

Tossing the corpses of their brethen down the chasm onto their heads might be a tad irritating to them. That is, if you have chasming on.

The rot won't attract them, it's just irritation from possible chasming and the attacks becoming harder over time in general.
