[40c] Where'd my baby go?
« on: September 01, 2008, 10:04:28 am »

There were a couple of goblin ambushes, so I sent out 6 legendary wrestlers and 5 marksdwarves which killed/scared away all of the goblins. I left them on duty outside my fort, just in case there were more. Later on, I saw the message "A kidnapper has made of with Urist McBaby!" (I can't remember the name...). I checked, and, the baby belonged to one of my wrestlers outside.

It just seems rather strange that a goblin can sneak up to 6 champions and 5 marksdwarves, rip a baby out from a dwarf's hands, and escape unnoticed...

Yep, unless the wrestler was inside when the kidnapper took the baby. But then, the kidnapper would have had to have made it past the wrestlers and marksdwarves outside, past 12 stone-fall traps, past 3 war dogs and past countless civilian dwarves, then back out the same way.

So I'm pretty confident the wrestler was outside...

I think next time you should put your soldiers on maternity leave, or draft men instead (not being sexist, I'm just thinking of the children).
