For the glory of Armok, I have undertaken the task of studding the goblin menace and turning their own bodily functions against them.
I added the [PET] tag to the female caste of Goblins, Humans, and Kobalds.
My attempts to create chambers with a semi-permeable barriers to only allows the children out were met with failure. So i came up with a simpler strategy to recapture the females when harvest time rolls around.
My first goblins went into the expanded testing chambers, 6 females and 10 males were able to be captured, adding to the three I already had. the males were dropped into the pit to survive or die, as we already have one male in the testing facility, only four males succumbed to their injuries from the fall, a clean-up crew will be sent in shortly, to finish off the unarmed and naked survivors.
Efforts to recapture the mothers when harvest time rolls around are going well a simple recapturing should suffice
The males were terminated with no casualties but a camel did kick one of the clean up crew members in the head, thank Armok for steel helmets
Through my research i have found some other useful information:
- Only need a male on the map to have a creature reproduce, they need not have contact at all probably because of the properties of the [PET] tag.
- A Werecreature won't attack its own babies or children, which were born on the map.
- As the goblin babies are considered friendly a goblin falling upon a child in the pit angered all of the children.
Note: I currently have a crop of 11 goblin babies... just need to wait on more subjects
