Troll Woodcutter
« on: June 19, 2013, 04:10:54 pm »

A troll woodcutter appeared.. What?

And now an engineer.

And a metalcrafter.

I've been playing DF for some time, and this actually never happened.

...are you playing with mods?

Or are you getting announcements that "The troll woodcutter Someone has come!"?  If so, it's possible they're werecreatures that aren't currently transformed.  Seeing 3 like that seems pretty unlikely though.

Are you being sieged at the moment?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Goblin siege. Trolls started coming, and i checked how many there were, and there was a woodcutter. Later, they got into the forest, and somehow one became a mechanic, and one a metalworker. I'm playing vanilla and not reclaiming anything. Just an ordinary siege. One became a woodcutter on his way to the fortress.

Yes, trolls do have civilian profession from time to time. I guess goblins employ them off-stuff-breaking-duty as civil servants.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

But he was an ordinary troll when he arrived, he became a woodcutter when he was moving to the fort.

It's faster to write "!!science!!" than any of the synonyms: "mad science", "dwarvern science", or "crimes against the laws of god and man".
