Actual Crime
« on: July 28, 2008, 06:53:31 pm »
I always feel like an asshole when I create jails only to have good-natured dwarves thrown in there for
not meeting a demand of a noble or throwing a tantrum for good reason (because his entire family was
murdered, for example.)

So having actual criminal dwarves who steal or even murder, just because they're bad/greedy/evil would
be kind of neat and also give a better reason for jails to be created so they could be locked up (and possibly
await trial? But I guess that's another story)

SECONDED! PLEASE add this! As is it's all too easy to just wall yourself off with no internal problems whatsoever, and this would provide a VALID use for hammerers and jails.

Yes they are a bunch of drunken unstable retards, but they're MY drunken unstable retards, and I will take care of them.

I like viewing the hammerer as a kind of russion roulette system where a dwarf is always going to get shot. The only question is which one?
I'd certainly like to see crimes. Stealing would definitly be cool.

I second this notion...
I'm sure its planned, but I always had a thought that a bunch of out of work Dwarves would band together, stop obeying orders and occasionaly go into Sneaking mode to mug innocent passerbys or picking locks on doors and stealing from cabinets and coffers-or maybe they will just attempt to abscond with a Artifact and sell it to the Goblins lol.

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.
