Vampire families
« on: July 22, 2016, 12:06:48 pm »
A couple of questions about vampires and their families -

1.  Will a vampire form relationships with dwarves or other vampire dwarves?
2.  Can vampires have kids?
3.  Will vampires feed on their own infants?

I had an idea for setting up an immortal enclave consisting of two compatible dwarves by feeding them vampire blood after they get married, then sealing them in a tomb (with a vampire blood pool) in order to very slowly raise an enclave of immortals who can, very slowly since they won't be able to get drunk, master every skill.  But if they end up eating their children before making them immortal, there's a good chance they'll end up insane, which is obviously not preferred.

1. Yes.
2. No (vamping causes sterility).
3. I think so (depends on if babies sleep...but children definitely yes).

Aw, it's a shame vamps are sterile.  Would have been fun developing a fort from just a pair of vamps into an enormous vamp clan.  I guess I could do it just by vamping every new migrant, but that's less entertaining.

And vampires can get drunk as of 0.42.X. They'll drink alcohol if served in a tavern (serving alcohol in a tavern will also cause a significant number of deaths through alcohol poisoning, but that surely doesn't matter if you're keeping vamps around).
Thus, if you lock a number of vampires up, you can have them serve booze to each other (and they're probably unable to die from alcohol poisoning, since it's modeled by suffocation from inhalation of vomit, and vampires don't breathe).
