Lone troll besieging fortress, stuck on rivers edge
« on: December 16, 2013, 02:26:34 pm »
So a troll has got me caught in siege-mode by being stuck on a river tile just by the edge of the map!
I cant dig him free due to edge-of-map restrictions, and I dont feel like constructing a dam just for him. Unless of course my magma-powered Analog Siege Stopper(A.S.S) could dam the river by overflowing until it obsidifies the river-tiles.
Would this work, or does anyone have some useful DFHack tweak to make the trollface go away?

Does that kill all trolls on the map or just the one in the water if I put reticule over him? I got a few caged ones I need for science.

sorry, I don't know. I just knew the option existed in dfhack.  Is just killing him not an option?

Can't you just get some crossbows and shoot it?

There once was a dwarf in a cave,
who many would consider brave.
With a head like a block
he went out for a sock,
his ass I won't bother to save.

Marksdwarves cannot complete order, so I guess not.

In these cases, you need to move the marksdwarves and wait for them to fire of their own will.

Slayrace can be used on a single creature with the command 'slayrace him', and the command does not change with the creature's sex.

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.

Most likely by having the cursor on top of the desired unit.

I thought 'complained about the draft lately' meant they didn't have a door to their room.

that was my guess, but there are a few ways in 'invoke' a cursor.  I didn't know if it mattered whether k'd or d'd etc
