Ghost status in .34
« on: March 05, 2012, 06:58:53 am »
I recall someone getting torn in a half right at the entrance if fort in .31 but I've failed to find my two ghosts near the places of their death.
Have anyone encountered ghosts while adventuring in their former forts or are those removed after abandonment now?

Someone did Science on this, they're hard to find but if you do, they never leave you alone until you die. And in the case of murderous haunts, they'll rip your limbs apart till you die.

I was killed by ghosts of one of my old forts. It battered me to death, but I could talk to it.

I encountered one and looked at the description, which said it was an animated set of clothes.  I was playing a mod at the time, so it may have not been a real ghost.(I didn't think of that till just now) I killed it rather easily.

Maybe that the dwarves never died and everyone is just shunning them.

Yup, mod. Ghosts can currently only be killed by the Ghost Busters, Slabs, Receptacles, Spectacles, Fell Dwarfs and maybe King DZA

I think the slaughter part is what made them angry.

Go back see if he's there and run him over, and drink his gun!

I remember when i had a dwarf go fell in a failing fort, everyone was tantruming due to ghost apocalypse, but a fell dwarf decided he needed every ghost in the fortress for his artifact, and the cheese maker that showed up of course.

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

Ah sadly you cannot make ghost bone crafts :(

Still, it does kill them, and a Dwarf will still die in the end... It all works out nicely.

 Good 'ole DF feature-bugs. Sometimes they're my favorite part of the game, really. :)

Clearly, this represents six side-by-side wheelbarrows, as indicated by the right half of the icon.  The left half indicates they are carrying babies with hats in these wheelbarrows.

Presumably, they are lining up to dump them into the baby furnaces.
