How should I go about killing all of my baby dwarves
« on: November 05, 2013, 10:50:11 pm »
I have around 80 of them, they just sit there and get in the way and it pisses me off.

I was thinking on just dumping them into magma but then I thought that was too boring.

I mod the raws so from birth to working they have 2 years.

One time I dumped all children in the caverns, the tantrum spiral was bad but it was so cool.
I felt like an evil genious or some such.

Unleash the giant sponge and watch the gloriousness!

Or...

I don't know... set a kitten pressure plate system and put the babies in a maze and see how many die before reaching the food.

And we were this close to yet another victim of Gnorm, the Overseer Killer.

Well, if you're willing to kill all of your dwarves along with the babies, just leave DF running until your fort crashes and burns.

Put a ballista in the meeting hall.
Then play invaders.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Actually, this sounds like a good idea.
Then you'll even get them back in 12 years when their done growing!

Build a meeting area for mothers to carry their children, then use a flow of water to push them into a pool they can swim out of, they will leave their babies in the pool to drown/starve while they scuttle for the shore, plus the mothers get a little swimming skill... make sure to leave a way out though, or you may lose a few more dwarves than you were expecting...

Answer the age old question: how many babies does it take to kill a cave crocodile?
