Question on Vampires
« on: April 01, 2012, 03:04:50 pm »
Something odd happened to me in 34.06 today. I was looking to see what my mechanic was up to because I needed a traction bench finished. I found him along with one of my migrant planters in the same bedroom and this happened...



So do vampires show up using (v) shortly before offing a dwarf?

First off. What kind of freaking bedrooms are those? A bed and statue. Really?

My personal text is in itself a attempt to be witty, making fun of the fact that peoples personal text usually are trying to make a witty one liner. Possibly a reference to the game or just a generally humorous. You may also find that this signature is not used to regurgitate someone else's joke in a attempt to immortalize that they felt but instead have just joined a crowd of people who are to hung onto past feeling, but is used to better explain the personal text.

In adventure mode too, you turn into that N. It's how other people spot what's going on I guess.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

EVERYONE must have statue of glorious leader in bedroom! Glorious leader protect in your sleep. Sort of.

Now I want a fort with a clown statue in everyone's bedroom. Can't sleep, clown's gonna eat me.

To stay on topic, yes, when a vampire is feeding he flashes back and forth between his normal icon and the vampire icon. If he is spotted, his true nature is revealed.

Thank you. I guess I need to screen my migrants a little better. This is my fifth vampire and I'm tired of dealing with them.

i once had a world with about 20% vampires.. every migrant wave was guaranteed to have at least two of them
wish i still had the file so i could see what the hell happened during world gen..

after a while i started drafting every vampire, and sending them cave exploring *untill* they got eaten

a couple of them turned out to be surprisingly good figthers, pretty much wiping the floor with everything they met, untill i ran out of cave monsters to sent them at..
