If a dwarf worships a deity who has never cursed someone with vampirism, would that rule them out?

[Boogeyman]

A vampire set to train 24/7 will take breaks to have a "break". He will show up as "on break" or "Soldier (no activity)".

Issuing military command to a feeding vampire will not interrupt him. Nor will recruiting the meal and issuing him an order.

A dwarf that has been fed on, but hasn't died gets the pale status after some bloodsucking.

Designating a bed to be removed doesn't interrupt the feeding (don't what goes on if someone gets there in time to actually do the removal).

The vampire may accuse someone of the murder even if no one saw him doing it. This time my vampire accused  stray gander (tame) of the deed.

Are dwarves who survive bloodsucking really large, super tough, super healthy (rarely get sick), or a combination of the above?

[Boogeyman]

My vampire is refusing to drink booze. I've closed him from the rest of the dwarves and I suspect lack of blood is preventing him from getting smashed.

No idea.

2. It is possible for one of your dwarves to accuse a non dwarf of murder. One of my dwarves accused a buck rabbit.

That's hilarious. Particularly since in one of my past fortresses a pet bunny actually caused the death of several immigrants.

[Splint]

a pet bunny actually caused the death of several immigrants.

That. Is. Awesome.

[Karnewarrior]

I have a vampire but no prisons or atom smashers... Or really a military capable of handling him.

I am so screwed.

[Aspgren]

I just got my first vampire. And one whom I suspect of vampirism but I don't want to spoil the surprise so I haven't made thorough investigation.

 The obvious one: claims to be 28 years old. Is the grandmother of a 127 year old resident. Has been kicked out of a fuckton of civilizations.

 Interesting note about her as well. My fort is in a very homogenous world and everyone has silver eyes and mahogany hair ... but the vampire has WHITE hair and none of the wrinkles that come with age. You can use this to help identify vamps.

 Now about the suspect ... it's just an oddity. It is a dwarven child who is 14 years old. He SHOULD have grown up by now ...

[Protesilaus]

Can anyone confirm if the will drink from non-dwarf sources? I always end up with goblin prisoners with nothing to do with them so it would be nice to setup a blood den.

Mine has gray hairs with sepia. However, since vampires tend to knock about the world their appearance can be different from the rest of your dwarves. This won't help finding patriotic vampires.

I have one 13 years-old. Right now, when I've looked into his description alcohol withdrawal syndrome scared the shit out of me, but then I realized that ALL my dwarves experience it so not 100%

Spoiler: the answer (click to show/hide)

it's a bug, they're clear

Vampires seem to be distant in relations with others. Since I've renamed his profession via therapist to draft him and didn't notice that one recruit is missing he's been chilling in the meeting are for a long time and still has only passing acquaintances.

Also, someone has already mentioned that undead and vamps ignore each other, thus, first (maybe only) dwarves that get to the entrance in evil biomes are risk-group. On the side note they make good woodcutters.

[Kluge]

Wait, it's been confirmed that dogs will attack a feeding vampire?  Someone mentioned in another thread that this didn't work.

They won't? Oh, then police state. Garrison soldiers in everyone's room.

IIRC, someone else said that doesn't work. The "solution" was to stuff everyone in a dormitory, have a squad patrol it. My barracks is temporarily located in the dormitory, and so far, no more over-feedings have occurred, so Idunno. I'm currently having a strange problem where I'm fairly sure I've located the vampire through Dwarf Therapist due to his high skills, but I can't find the dwarf anywhere in the fortress and he doesn't appear in unit lists through "appoint noble" or "assign to squad" menus. Though, Therapist seems pretty buggy in the latest release (migration waves don't appear correctly, children are shown in DT even when it's marked in options that they aren't supposed to, possible goose chase with likely vampire).

It's possible that DT is showing his true name while the menu is showing an alias. If you're already using un-DF methods of locating him just go through your citizens and try to assign them nicknames.

The suspected vampire can be nicknamed, and it sticks in DT, but he still doesn't appear to exist. Will try everyone else.

It doesn't stick in the game though, which is what he's getting at. I had to do this to screen migrants.

[inEQUALITY]

He IS a vampire, he absolutly detests buck rabbits, and the the rabbit is vampire!

!Bunnicula!

!Alucinnub!

Am I the only one who caught the Helsing reference?

Anyway...

The nickname method is so undorfy. Like quantum stockpiles. But you know most everyone is going to do it anyway. Like quantum stockpiles. xD
