Playing adventure mode, get ambushed by some humans and *BAM*, flock of ravens descends upon their leader. Some hatred has been alleviated.

I have giant ravens in my current fort, after I saw a swarm of them completely devastate a siege of goblin bowmen, I thanked god that they weren't hostile.

I like animals because I like chaos.

Keas are awesome. They liven things up a bit. I like raven flocks, too.

In general having things go well without some little bastards interfering gets boring. It's a pleasant surprise to be robbed by Keas and such in the middle of something important, it makes me go "Haha you little shit! Steal that thing and fly! Fly fly away!"

Water Buffalos.


EVEN if you give them a few year's worth of grass, EVEN if they get hungry after five years, they will die, sooner or later. They eat a shitload, are aggresive, expensive as fuck, and they are slow as shit.


Fuk me, even Cavies are better than them, it took a herd of 12+ Cavy Pups to consume a single tile of grass.

So far my latest for has had little but Kea, Ravens and Eagles.  My hunters murder them with impunity.

Haven't had many problems with keas yet.  Had lots of ravens on my last map, but they mostly left me alone, even though my markdorfs used them for target practice.  Annoying because it wasted a lot of bolts, but they did get experience for it, so whatever.

I have had some minor annoyances with occasional great horned owls flying into my forts and causing trouble before being eliminated.

Any aggressive non-building-destroyer deep-cave animals that come in swarms that get eviscerated by your military, immediately generating dozens of hauling jobs that will take half a season to complete and require trudging through monster-invested caves, leading to dozens of cancellations. So yeah, crawling eyes and hungry heads. Flesh balls and cave blobs are fine because they don't have 100 jillion teeth, toenails and antennae to get scattered all across creation, into pools, on top of cave trees, etc.

Do you reckon if you butchered ravens, you'd get hordes of flying hairballs?

Should at least get maybe 1 or two Raven McNuggets, and the feathers could be used for pillows.

Heck, 20 or 30 raven hearts should make a single pie.

It takes four and twenty blackbirds to make a pie.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.
