Goblinite vs Vampirinite... Vampinite?
« on: March 17, 2012, 03:13:41 pm »
After putting down three vampires in my latest fortress, I'm left with a MASSSSSIIIIIVVVVVE stockpile of crafts made with human bones.  I mean, huuuuuge.  Come to think of it, the last few fortresses have had similar issues.

I had to quadruple my stockpile size and stop murdering elven caravans just to make room for everything.

Granted, none of these are useful outside of trading, but clearly vampires are a rich source of marketable commodities rather than just a nuisance!

Decorate them with bone and trade them away.

I'd say goblinite is much better, vampires only occasionally have loads of bone crafts, while goblins will always have equipment.

Not only that but goblinite can be used in weapon traps as well as melted down for metals.

I find it's nice to have a vampire thrown off a tower, drop all of its crafts and force it to haul all of its trophies to it's own personal depot. Goblinite is still nicer :£
