A couple of quick questions about the agro mechanics
« on: June 14, 2013, 07:40:43 am »

1. Short of turning a squad into civilians, there's no way to have them break mob agro when they get it, correct?

2. There's no way to have a civilian ignore mob proximity, correct?

3. There's no way to order an active squad to pick up corpses and dump them correct?


I assume I'm right on all that, but I thought I would verify. The combination of all that really leads to some annoying issues.... :/

1: not afaik
2: there is. Remove their eyeballs. Blind dwarfs can still perform lots of tasks but won't get scared of enemies anymore.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

You can... er... try to get lucking with a danger room setup san helmet?
Of course, you're equally likely of poking the brain out instead of the eyes.
