caged goblins, love it.
« on: May 01, 2009, 10:55:29 am »

So I know i'm really still a n00b, but I am finding it hilarious having goblins in cages.  I am building at least one cage for goblins in each noble dining room, and have one in my big hall for everyone to admire and throw parties around.

I need more goblin cages, though.  The baron, his consort, taxman, and hammerer showed up.

Dwarf justice was much easier when I had a sheriff with no wrestling ability.  My jail is opulent, that should help...

I'd say create a shared dining hall for all nobles. Line the walls with caged goblins.
Don't disarm the goblins.
Add a lever connected to the goblins cages. Put this in some peasant's room.

Hold a banquet.

Pull the lever.

Sacrificial pits are fun, as are arenas.

I like throwing them into botomless pits/chasms, as you get to see a gobling colloured dot slowly becoming smaller if you look at the bottom level.

The only problem with this idea, is that once a seige or ambush is broken, the goblins flee mindlessly. The nobles will only get to witness your goblins' backs and maybe lay a bet on which one makes it past your wardogs.

If i did that, I planned on locking them all up.

Right now I'm suffering from the after effects of Claim other dead, Claim other dead Objects, Claim your dead objects, and a siege.  I was at 117 with a lovely group of happy nobles, trying to decide how to get a king.

Now I have 40 dwarves, several insane, and the little bastards are still going out looking for treasure while they should be rebuilding.  Good thing i have a large stock of food and booze right now.  just riding it out..
