Wounded Migrants
« on: February 22, 2013, 08:51:12 pm »

So, I get that migrants can show up with old wounds, but I got one who had yellow injuries on -- literally -- every part of his body.

Upon checking his thoughts and preference, much to my surprise he had *no* scars, or anything else indicative of these injuries.

So...what's going on?

I've gotten that before, world gen injuries. Probably from a syndrome caused by a titan that caused bruising and bleeding or something.

For Science you should make a copy of the save file, abandon, goes into legends and find out what happened to them.

I recently got a migrant from the previous fort with an unlisted injury. My strand extractor/weaver came unable to walk (but not missing or injured in any way, according to everything else), because of the !!!FUN!!! that happened there.

I had a migrant once who was a retired soldier with only one hand, which had been lost thirty years earlier fighting a dragon who had invaded her home! She then enlisted in the civ's military, has a long and glorious career in a war against the neighbouring elf civ with over sixty confirmed kills, and retired to my fort as a fisherdwarf!

Later on, when I was fighting a siege force, I found a single abandoned glove on the edge of the map, where she had entered the game! :D

You might want to check this new arrival out a little more in depth.  I have had migrants show up with the same type of wounds on several occasions and every single one of them was a vampire.  I am not saying that they automatically are one, but check just to make sure.
