Is there a vermin hunter for warlocks?

[Meph]

No. You might find access to grave cats, but otherwise its either ignoring them, or setting up animal traps.

Is it possible to obtain seeds somehow after you embark? I've noticed a common trend in that my butcher shops get so backed up that everything is a skeleton by the time it gets butchered. Also, what am I supposed to do with all this bone?!

[Meph]

Bone ammo, weapons, bone armor, make more skeletons, ironbone bars, flux? You have tons of options for bones.

Seeds only from the Demonic Attorney or the Herbalist. Or killing caravans.

[Rum]

Loving it so far.   any one got good screens of their lairs?

After they slaughter something they continue at the skeleton that gets left behind, making something called a bone chop that counts as meat. I learned I had to forbid those leftover partial skeletons early on to make sure my ghouls would rip the souls out of the fresh kills and not keep hacking away at the skeletons, unless that got changed in the release.

Ah, upon closer inspection I noticed that sometimes my gohuls seem to try butchering the same skeletons several times over, to no avail. Does it just take a really long time to get these bone chops, or am I experiencing an actual bug?

Oh, and thanks for the answer Meph.

My guess is they just keep making them, but if there's a large pile of bones and skeletons that probably lengthens the process considerably. I haven't had a dungeon last long enough though to really do much beyond those observations. Keep getting wiped out by dwarves or humans if I try to fight them, or elves just ambush their way right to the front door and kill everyone while I have my ghouls chasing things or collecting wood.

I've been mostly cowering behind drawbridges and trying to find ways to feed my guys without going outside much. Since skeletons don't need to eat or drink though, I've been thinking about building a big tower with archer skeletons walled in on every floor, basically working as cheap turrets.

Yeah, I've been having some trouble as well. These guys are either hard to play as, or it's just my general inexperience with Dwarf Fortress shining through.

The 0.4h release seems to be missing the Warlock manual Meth. That or I got a bad download.

Edit: Nope, just had a bad download!

[Gamerlord]

Bloody hell, I need to find a map with little to no soil for my lairs - I like to build crypts and it doesn't work if my skelies and ghoulies have to run up and down twenty flights of stairs.

[Nuttycompa]

Well my skeleton turn Oppose to life out side my wall. Then the invader come, they just run pass him and do nothing, even when I close the gate they just stand there 5-6 tile away from my skel doing nothing.
Seem like my DF have some problem with zombie.
I did't change any setting except turn FortressDefendRace on.

[Meph]

Thats perfectly fine. Use Warlocks or Pylons to get skeletons back under control. And the zombies do what they want, they might attack or not. Thats normal.

[Stuebi]

Hey! Just a few quick questions I couldnt find in the Manual ( I might just be too stupid to find it, forgive me if thats the case).

- Is there any way to get more Warlocks/Witches? My first two embarks only had one, and the Manual says while they're immortal if done right, they cant reproduce. Im a bit worried if i'll be able to manage with just one Lock, considering how many nobles one can appoint and the amount of things Warlocks can do.

- I wanted to try out the Rendermax-Ligthing, since it looks pretty cool. I couldnt find a manual on how to activate it and what exactly it changes. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the help and also great work on the Mod and races! I almost couldnt conain my excitement when seeing Warlocks as a playable race.

EDIT: Also, how do Warlock-Twoers and Crypts look on the Map? I was able to find a Gravestone-symbol, but the site was empty.
