Taming Eliminators?
« on: January 21, 2017, 06:06:29 am »

I captured an Eliminator in a cage, and it said I could tame him, so I did. But now it's saying he has no job, as if he was a sentient member of my fortress. I can't even pasture him. Is he meant to be tameable or is this an oversight?

Yep eliminators are sentient and can work for you... goblins and succubus like to bring them in trade caravans.  Also gorecyclops.  I hate both of them as they are not as direct in movement, and eliminators like to do stockpile jobs... they carry huge amounts of weight so they will roam around the map carrying 200+ items before finally dropping them on a stockpile...  socks when they pick up things you want riget now and they carry them for 2 months....

Beware if you butcher them they'll come back to haunt you, and I have a feeling their skin is bugged and not tannable.

If you tame them and keep them in their cage, eventually they'll go berserk, great for dealing with invaders or elves.
