Not sure if I have a problem.
« on: September 18, 2012, 09:08:31 am »
It's my first game in some time. I just found a marksdwarf randomly dead outside. Very soon after, I spot another one dead not so far away, outside. I noticed while this was happening my population went from 45 to 44.. to 43.. and 44? Did I miscount or is something new and horrible happening?

I found and took out a named black bear that seems to have been behind the two deaths. Is it named just because it kicked my arse or because of something more sinister?

You might have a vampire.

Find who it is, and give him a magma bath.

I'm trying to figure out how creeping eyes vomit despite not having a mouth.

Personally I can't stand doing that. It seems like cheating.

It does.  Doesn't mean it isn't fun...  I wouldn't do it if I was seriously playing.

Sounds like that black bear is just a badass. If any wild animal kills a dwarf they name it, so that's why it has a name. It probably isn't a vampire because vampire attacks have an announcement something along the lines of "UristMcSucker has been found drained of blood!". If you only got "UristMcMarksdwarf has been found dead!" then you're fine.

Because it killed the marksdwarves. Dwarven deaths don't get announced until a live dwarf sees the body.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.
