Hi all,

Been a while since i played this i really hope the update is out soon. But anyway i generated a new world and found a awesome location. I embarked without a hunter this time and went with a fisher. But before my miners dug the first fallway my fisher got attacked by a carp it whacked his teeth out and soon after that he drowned.

I have read that carp in the river does not form a serious threat any more but obviously it does. I like some options so i can safely extract some food from this river.

And before my poor fisher dwarf leaves his leg behind in a alligator stomach, what should i do about them? They live in the same river, but i really fancy making some leather bags from those .

I had the convienient issue of having the river freeze up, instantly exterminating all alligators from my map.

well...... you could always use.

[insert one of necro's posts here]


but in serious terms, try assigning a marksdwarf. and have him take out the crocs, then moses effect the river draining it into the 1st cavern layer.
afterwards collect your hard earned leather, build grates at the inflow area of the river, then resume operations as normal.

Before they would kill everyone, now they just kill over enthusiastic fisherdwarves.

carp can and do still end fisher dwarfs.

This sounds like an excellent opportunity to start training siege workers. It's better to have 1 big hole in your hides then lots of little ones.

For the floating handbags try building a load of cage traps near the river then chain an animal up just behind them (this also works very well for things in lava too).
