Hmmm. Can anyone help me figure out how to train giant beetles into war beetles? The kennels only work for dogs.

The kennels say dogs, but actually work for any trainable animal. both Cave Crabs and Giant Beetles can be trained there no problem.

[Saeldanya]

Ah, thanks! The giant beetle I have does not give the kennels a "train war animal" option to select, but I guess there must be another reason for this... maybe because it arrived as someone's pet?

[UristMcHuman]

Hmm. All three of those are Evil races. Do you get this same behavior with High Elves, Silver Xelics, or Vamarii? My guess is something in the tags for the evil races makes it so that they somehow turn on you.

No, when I was a sand-person, I took other sand-people with me to raid a human town. I walked into a lasher, and my whole sand-man civ turned on me. I haven't tried a silver xelic, high-elf or vamari yet, but I will.

If it's a named pet, you cannot do anything to it.

Sand Raiders are also evil.

If you kill a named animal with, say, a ballistae... Would it be butcherable?

I would assume so.

[The Doctor]

Good. Because I hate named animals. Only if I assign you a pet, will you have a pet!

[Thrin]

Every single GODDAMN game I play as a race other than human, normal elf or dwarf, the civilization I'm in suddenly turns hostile towards me, even though I didn't do ANYTHING. Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this?


EDIT: This is in adventure mode. What gives with this?

I think I remember Kolbold Camp had problems with this as well. If I recall correctly, it had something to do with the LOCAL_BANDITRY tag. I'll go back through that thread and report back.

EDIT:

I belive Deon discovered that being attacked by supposedly friendly towns is a cause of the [LOCAL_BANDITRY] tag which I see 'bolds have.

There you go. Looking through the raws show that all three have the [LOCAL_BANDITRY] tag. Remove them, and your problem is solved. I think.

[Fallen Flame]

Hmm one thing that I've noticed (I'm assuming its a bug) is that I've gotten cave crabs and giant cave crabs spawning in HFS. Anyone else noticing this?

[The Doctor]

They're giant insectoid beasts.

Of course they fit in with the clowns. The clowns are probably scared shitless.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In all seriousness, I haven't see that, but I haven't breached the HFS... well, ever. Anyway, the only problem I've noticed with cave crabs is inedible eggs.

[Fallen Flame]

Well I have not breached it either but in my last world I kept seeing "Giant cave crab is caught in flames x20" (or something like that). So I used DFreveal and went looking for what it was, and basically it was some cave crabs that had spawned in an underground structure which were attacking clowns. On another world I used reveal and unpaused, and as soon as clowns spawned they started attacking random cave crabs in HFS. It's quite odd...

EDIT: looked in the raws and noticed this

[UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1:5]

I'm not sure what impact this would have or if it would do anything, but doesn't this mean they will spawn in a cavern from level 1 to level 5 and since there is only 3 cavern's does HFS count as the fourth?

[Knight Otu]

Underground depth 4 is the magma sea. Underground depth 5 is the HFS layer.

[UristMcHuman]

Alright, who's goddamn idea was it to make giant ants able to gravely wound, let alone kill me IN THREE GODDAMN TURNS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
