Easiest way to start a quick and vicious tantrum spiral?
« on: April 09, 2012, 08:04:41 pm »

I have a fort of about 100 dwarves, getting bored with this one, about to start on a terrifying biome.

Basically I want to see blood, gore and mucus hitting the walls, what is the easiest way to do this?

Destroy the dining room, remove all bedrooms and furniture, and kill the social elite (mayor, peasants, etc.).

Or anyone with a lot of friends, really.
Make sure to leave the corpses around, Miasma and all that.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

Don't produce pants or socks  , ever, and forbid them on any goblin corpses.

3 easy steps!

1) disable all labors, create a meeting hall/statue garden/zoo, and watch the PARTY! Happen.
2) wait for dwarves to get all chummy, get married, and pop a few kids.
3) kill spouses and some children in a fashion that produces corpses. Dropping them, drowning them, etc.  Having it happen in front of a crowd of friends witness the death hs added effect. DO NOT slab or bury the bodies.

Stand back, and watch the fireworks!


Even more effective:
Destroy the meeting hall, and forbid all clothing after killing people.

Order your soldiers to kill the home caravan when it arrives, it marks them as enemies of your civ but also marks everyone who attacks them as enemies of the civ as well... so everyone ends up  enemies of everyone.

Definitely do the above.

Also

1. Make all animals available as pets.
2. Once adopted pasture said animals in a drowning chamber.
3. drown all animals.

The first time I did this multiple dwarfs went insane. Even if you don't get berserkers the long term effect will be a lot of melancholy dwarfs starving to death.

Don't do the following.

Instead, remove his bedroom, office and dinning room.

Assign war dogs, and butcher them.  Mostly, assign them to a mother.

For loyalty cascade:

Burtally murder the dwarven caravan with your military. (Magma and drowning don't work.)

Enjoy the fireworks, as your legendary axelords are declared enemies of the state.

I find it humorous how our advice on destroying a city is actually more dependable then our advice on keeping it stable.

Humorous, perhaps... but not surprising.

For maximum carnage, kill all of your war animals/make sure they won't be able to strike down any Dwarfs. Animals that get the kill slow down or can even stop loyalty cascades. You'll want to also separate the caravan so that one soldier can take down one merchant, and beeline into the civilian quarters, allowing for the most amount of Dwarves flagged as enemies of your civ.

I'd prefer to see how well your military fares trying to quell the rebellion of berserk dwarves. First, draft every civilian into the army, destroy the booze except for your dedicated soldiers and kill the dining halls and any admirable piece of furniture. Give each civvie a weapon of your choice, wait for the draft/long patrol duty thoughts to pile up and laugh as your minions go insane and are promptly mopped up by waiting axelords, inspiring more and more until you have a tide of them assaulting everyone mercilessly.

Bonus if the one piece of equipment you give them is a candy weapon of some sort.

If you're not opposed to using DFHack, I'd designate all clothes to be dumped, and then use DFHack to auto-dump or auto-destroy all said clothes. That should pretty much immediately give everyone a LOT of bad thoughts. kill a pet or two, or atom-smash a few masterwork crafts and the rest should pretty much take care of itself. Bonus points if you have a sheriff who is kept happy enough to keep doing his job; he'll run around your fort and beat the tantrumers (and probably take joy in the slaughter!)

Keep in mind that the dwarves are essentially alcoholic toddlers, and act accordingly.
