how to micromanage a vampire.
step1 create a room with a blood winery a table a chair, and a bed
step2 create either a switch room you can lock and unlock to deliver meat / barrels or a dump hole from above.
step3 dump in some meat / barrels for him to brew his own blood/bloodwine, i find 20 or so barrels of blood/wine lasts him a -very- long time, like a year or so at best. if he dies of thirst. revive him before his corpse turns to a partial skeleton. then send him back to his room

step4

step5 profit (skeletonbanner transformation)

Why waste booze? I built a private room with a water well in it to quarantine my vampire. He was living just fine 3 years without any booze. However, a forgotten beast came up through the well and killed him so I don't know if this works indefinitely.

Do even the minor invader races like kobolds and goblins give scalps? Or is it just the major ones like elves/dwarves/humans?

que up "bait goblin army" 10 times.

send cryptlord squad of 25 sword skeletons (all bloodsteel)

"call" it practice for the circus.

225 goblin invaders Training dummies.

need ideas on what to do with 4000 bars (1200ironb/900bloodsteel/1400mithril/500adamantite) and 18k meat -.-

Then dump 225 goblin corpses into a pit, release HFS, reanimate goblin zombie army. Watch the day of the dead meet the circus.

All civs give scalps. Kobolds and Goblins included.

i tried releaseing the undead like that. it makes all my pet golems and whatnot go nuts attacking them.

having your bone pile of 3000+bones come to life in your workshop drops fps to zero

I still can't get skeletons to reliably train. I've started three new warlock forts, and two different fresh installs. Yet, when set to train they just "Individual Combat Drill/Resting" and gain no skills.

Do danger rooms work?

You don't have training spears.

@ The vampire problem. I find that if I have sufficient quantities of blood wine laying around, the vampires would automatically drink them whenever they were thirsty relieving you of any micromanagement.

Question: When learning spells in the library what skill is actually used to learn? I'm having trouble sorting it out to make individual warlocks learn spells. It's not writing, sorcery, or alchemy.

2nd Question: Anyway to sort bags of shredded metals? I'm trying to make bars of the metals I don't have at the transmutation chamber only using copper dust. But I can't figure out how to make a furniture stockpile hold only copper dust filled bags.

[Flare]

I'm not sure myself. Try scribing.

[Meph]

Try PRAYING.

[Fairin]

serrated wooden training spears work just as well, go on . cut my skeletons....

never needed to sort blood or dust bags.. what kinds of things are you guys doing.. =)

[megahelmet]

Try PRAYING.

Nope, that's not it either. I let it be free for all just to see who would show up. Random skeleton went to learn it. I copied all his skills and turned them on for my warlock. Warlock learned it with both sorcery and praying off.

Try a researcher & inventor. It's under the farming/related labours, I believe.

Yup, that's it. Thanks.

I have trouble keeping my warlocks happy. I give them room with nice stuffs. never mind I do believe I solved my problem on my own.
