Weaponizing were-vamps?
« on: March 16, 2012, 06:47:37 pm »

So I put 3 vampires in solitary confinement over the last 4 years of my fort, then some nobody dorf gets attacked by a wereweasel out in the fields. Not having any other solitary confinement chambers I stuck him in with the vamps. He turned in a month and fought them, they were all armed with obsidian swords so I had assumed that they would kill him however it turned out that they could only get yellow-red wounds and only severed his hand before he turned back into a healthy dwarf. I get the feeling that if I keep getting lucky I will have some very well trained vampire wereweasels.

Too bad hybrids would be fearsome.

Well that sucks. I guess I will just use him to train their weapons up then!

I actually have well water that seeps blood occasionally when something dies above my aquifer, if I wanted I could probably make my whole fortress into vampires by having the werewolf and vamps fight above the aquifer.

Yeah he killed all my vampires, his skin is nigh inpenetrable to obsidian swords they can only bruise him, apparently that's just a bug though.

I think werebeasts can only be harmed by certain weapons when turned. I have no idea how good obsidian swords are, though. They may just suck either way...

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.

I think they have overpowered armour and a weakness to a specific material. They aren't invulnerable to others though.
