Is there a dfhack command too resurrect someone? Just lost my one starting ghoul in a stupid pond while hunting a bobcat!

[Arcvasti]

fullheal -r on their entry in the dead unit screen sometimes works, albeit inconsistently.

Would it be possible to add a variant of the wraithblade that uses some involved process in its production (souls, special materials etc.) with an interaction that allows for the wielder to "fire" shards of the blade's material? Much like the other staves and the special robes made from skin, this could be a special weapon intended for warlock warriors.

You trying to farm the metal that the metal staves shoot out? Because you can totally do that with the bullet turrets.

Actually its because I thought that's what wraithblade's were supposed to do from the early documentation (which I may or may not have misread) and I kinda liked that idea.

Will a vampire necromancer "drink" if he stands in a rain of dwarven blood?

[Splint]

Not that I know of, though depending on what said blood does you may instead end up with a vampire doing a pretty good zombie impression when indoors.

I recently got a female warlock migrant who had two kids. Both were ghouls. Is it normal? Unfortunately, I lost that fortress, but will provide screenshots when this happens again.

[Splint]

Yeah it's normal. That's due to worldgen.

Sadly, that's the reason why breeding civs can't really have different creatures as part of the civ members, because they are just castes, and many odd things can happen when they breed.

Babies of different castes are common (resulting in pretty odd things here), but you could also have a male goul and a female skeletton have a warlock/witch kid.

Even something like guilds (like humans and dwarves) would be kind of hard to implement, because you would have to make different reactions for all the base castes in order to prevent turning a skeletton into a whitch of the craft guild.


Sadly, this is one of the limits of modding in this game, and we can only hope that Toady will one day expand on that (or DFHack team to hack even deeper into the game to provide such support).

Are prisoners able to breed in captivity? It seems like a good way to build up souls, but I don't want to commit to anything if I don't know about the payoff.

[slay_mithos]

I know that I had wild animals give birth while caged (and the kids ended up being in the same cage as the mother), so it might be the same for prisonners.

But if wild animals also have souls, then it might be even better, because they are easier to mass kill than warriors.

[SharpKris]

atm the slaves are a bit broken but i dont think they could breed either way

[slay_mithos]

I think he meant invaders caught by cage traps, not slaves, because he used the word "prisoners".
But with slaves for warlocks and succubus, it becomes easy to become confused pretty fast.

Just stock a warlock on a graveyard and have him search for lost souls on repeat. You collect more souls than you can ever use and train....sorcery or magic, I forget which one.
