This is my new fortress layout:

Man, we really need a "triggered by potash makers" option for pressure plates.

This is my new fortress layout:

Id change that for myself, pretty much everything gets to go be the 200th heroic dragon trainer, but a select few get to live in my fort. I have a total of like 10 different professions I bother with

Ye, there wasnt any place for animal caretaker, grower, 10th soap maker (one is usefull, but 10?) and so forth.

[Loud Whispers]

I assume he would be fixing that permanently hostile thing otherwise it would not be fun to tame dragons

I'd really beg to differ

[Anathema]

As a side effect, I think it's great for gameplay when Toady makes previously-useless professions suddenly essential. After this gets patched in, seeing a legendary animal trainer migrant might be as good as a legendary armorsmith. The more professions that get this treatment the better, a fortress only needs so many haulers.

Also:
Urist McTrainer withdraws from society...
Urist McTrainer has claimed a kennel!
Urist McTrainer sketches pictures of a Dragon.

Dungeon Master shall now be the custom profession name of the most prolific and successful animal trainer in my fortress. Other than that, it was beginning to get tedious having to go through n-number of files to change exotics to regular pets, so anything is an improvement.

Notepad++ is your friend. Change all exotics to regular in like, 5 clicks.

I'll see your 5 clicks and raise you one command line:

Code: [Select]

% sed -i -e 's/PET_EXOTIC/PET/g' *

I for one will miss the Dungeon Master for he was the best noble.

Run around the Fortress naked except for multiple cloaks and socks, not having any requirements nor make demands, and when he wasn't taming wild beasts he was smelting ores.

The real fun will be when you drop a goblin into a pit with a dragon...

and he tames it.

That'd be rather...awkward.

[The Dog Delusion]

Let's just hope that the thing with creatures going permanently hostile when they've killed a dorf will be fixed

Yeah, I was wondering about that. If the taste of dwarf blood makes a creature forever hungry for more, then some creatures would end up just being untameable, unless the actual training process doesn't put the trainers in danger, kind of like the current/old system of "trainer gives food to an animal in a cage." Perhaps muzzles or restraints will become a requirement for training wild animals in the future?

I'd like to see the restraint you have that works on a 1,000 year old dragon larger than anything else in existence.

That's why I embark with a few extra dragons, for those crazy moods.

[Girlinhat]

Actually the Roc is bigger than a dragon, strictly speaking.  Or at least, greater wingspan.

Apparently highly flammable wooden cages still work.
