A little while into my current fort i noticed how, every time i butchered something, their skin would just sort of get up and attack my Dorfs.
After some detective work i figured i embarked on 2 biomes, one of which is evil.

I then promptly walled off a 5x5 area in the evil part of the map, only accessible through a 1x5 hallway of cage traps, and designated the inside as a refuse pile for corpses.
It's a few months later and i currently have a bunch of zombies in cages.

Now my question: How do i use this to kill elves?

[brainfreez]

easy steps to kill elves with zombies .

1.release the zombies in a room with elves .
2. repeat .

Who needs cages? Replace that bottom door with a bridge and then just let the zombies be free in the pit. Better yet, put the zombie pit in part of the evil region that way the dead elves come back to life and help kill more elves.

Might I suggest capturing the elves and tossing them in the zombie pit instead of directly releasing zombies onto the elves? I once amassed an army of near 100 reanimated parts and turned them loose upon the elven caravan. It was glorious until I realized that, with the elves dead, the horde was now knocking at my front door.

It's the little things that get forgotten in planning that come back to bite ya in the arse.

Kobold pit :3

Fyfy?

[brainfreez]

i once did a test with 10 kobolds vs 10 elves in arena , the elves won without deaths , only minor bruises .

corai should make kobold child care because all kobolds are growing up to be little loincloth poopers .

[Boozebeard]

Well obviously a group of kobolds fighting another race of equal numbers will lose.
Kobolds are strong in numbers!

in arena

Argument invalid

[oven_baked]

Simple:
1: build arena
2: capture elves
3: drop elves and zombies into arena
4: watch.

Just wondering.
Is it possible to catch elves with cage traps without them being hostile?

[brainfreez]

cause a cave in near them and hope they will fall on your traps unconscious .

Yes.
Drop them onto a cage trap. They will be stunned. Stunned creatures always get caught.

[Malecus]

Put a raising bridge under the zombies and have several narrow walkways up above.  When the elves cross the pathways, raise the bridge (lever or pressure plate, whatever) to launch the zombies at them.  Because 'jumping' zombies are much scarier and more unpredictable, that's why.
