I have a dwarf who likes elves for their grace! help!
« on: July 25, 2014, 05:04:17 am »

One of my starting seven amused me by liking pigs for their snorts, after laughing about this I also noticed that she likes elves for their grace. She likes pigs for their snorts and elves for their grace! Normally tossing an elf-lover into the magma is a straightforward solution but because this one also likes pigs for their snorts I just don't know what to do. I have embarked with a couple of pigs in case they are needed.

Pigs are horrible creatures that spawn vermin all round them. throw the pigs and the traitor both into the magma!

Throw him into your militia and give him the chance to prove himself against the first elf attack. While receiving both happy thoughts for seeing elves and slaughtering them, obviously.

Daaaww piggies! *snort*
Let him adopt a pig and bond with it before you throw the horrible elf lover into a pit. Then throw the pig in after him.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Mod the raws to acquire a stray war pig and assign it to her, and have her kill ALL THE ELVES.

She clearly finds them remarkably similar, that's why she likes them both.

Anyway, if you think there's something wrong with a dwarf liking elves, there's something wrong with you :P

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

Isn't this "grace" the short prayer that more religious elves say before eating their captives? If so, then it is quite a valid reason to like elves. I'd prefer to be eaten with some thought and attention than devoured in a barbaric and uncaring way.

Capture all the elven traders in cages and build them in her room until they go insane/starve. Nothing wrong with having a preference for one exotic pet over another. Or militarize her, give her good equipment, and make her kill them as they go insane. Harden her for duty by making her kill that which she loves, and keep her sane by giving her the solace of snorting swine.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure both elves and pigs are pretty much equally humanitarian.

Give elves the [EXOTIC_PET] tag.

^^ This.  Except they won't actually starve or go insane.  And since they're elves, they don't age.  They'll just stay caged forever.

are you sure? I remember it used to be the case, but I haven't tested it in a few versions. Mostly because the caged elves don't live long enough before I find some way to give them !!FUN!!.
