I have a vampire... somewhere...
« on: March 12, 2012, 04:11:24 pm »

So i have my first (?) vampire who has just drained a dwarf of blood and killed him. It goes without saying that there were no witnesses. Now that the whole blaming on children and naming things have been fixed, what are the best ways to find vampires? In addition, how often do they feed? Because i have several projects going on and no one to really devote to this.

Vampires are overrated. You'll find it, and if you don't...


Well wut.

Do you have a CoG?

You need one for witnesses to report the actual attacks.

Did you also make every bedroom isolated by any chance?

Imagine the will it took to create a fortress like this. And what have you elves built? Nothing. You can only loot and break. You're not dwarves!! You're just termites at Versailles.

It's not that I don't suffer, it's that I know the unimportance of suffering, I know that pain is to be fought and thrown aside, not to be accepted as part of one's soul and as a permanent scar across one's view of existence.

Just nickname every one and when next victim falls make slab for the victim... It will show the nickname of the murderer with his true name.

Alternatively, check all of them for unusually large amounts of personal possessions or a long history. One of my vampires was a part of ~15 civilizations. Giant block of blue text in the middle.

Your vampire will be the one with a truckload of -dwarf bone earrings- on them.

Nickname bug got fixed in .34.5

About 9 of my migrants have 20+ kills, but one has several hundred... I'm beginning to suspect it's that one...

Be aware that career hunters rack up a lot of animal kills. That said, several hundred sounds like vampire territory. Check him for suspicious jewelry.

It still works with Slabs...
Vamp needs to be nicknamed at the time when he/she kills the victim for that name to come on slab... If you name nickname Urist Mcdwarf to 'Vamp' Mcdwarf Slab will show you that killer was 'Vamp' Mcrealname... Nicknaming on other issues is fixed what i've seen.

After five kill, I found the vampire. My captain saw this migrant hunter killinga kid and just filled a complaint. She has 14 kids and a long lifespan. She is locked away in an office.
