When you have more dogs than you know what to do with, butcher them. Do not assign them as wardogs to your champions. The loss of ten pets at the hands of orcs is not something that admiring your own fine bed is going to cure.

Especially do not do this if said champion is wielding a steel warhammer artifact.

[Phantom]

Just turn them into this seasons *sunday special*.

Even better:
Train a lot of them as wardogs anyway and stick them in the arena against goblins or whatever else you've managed to capture. Great dwarven entertainment.

Slaughter the males but one and leave all the females....you will never run out of dog meat.  Tis a wonderful thing...

That and you'll never run out of bones for projects.

Sigh... If only you could use bones and a building material, then my road of bones project would be possible.

Modding time?

I was hoping the shower of body parts would start a tantrum spiral, but I had been pretty good about keeping my dwarves too busy to party. Now I'm bored.

I was really surprised this glacial embark survived. I think what saved me was I had removed the NOSPEAK tag for orcs and I got their traders twice a year. They brought lots of roots and leaves and stuff to brew with. The first years winter traders saved my bacon. Once I found the underground river and magma pipe (duh, it had an obsidian cap, I can't believe I didn't notice that) it was pretty trivial to keep them alive.

Even better, a CRYPT made of skulls.

Or a trade depot... made of the skulls of elven traders!

[milaga]

If only I could

I learned something new today. A 10 z-level drop is enough to break the toughest orc into it's component pieces in a reliable fashion.

I think I've finally perfected my single hallway fall trap system, although the ramps down to the trade depot are a little inelegant. I had my military stationed below to mop up any survivors, but there were none. I wasn't sure how my new fall trap would work. A seven z-level drop wouldn't instantly kill all goblins, and some of them even managed to crawl around a bit. Granted they had about four pages worth of mangled body parts.

Twenty orcs trapped in the killing chamber. Twenty orcs dropped. Twenty heads, 20 upper right arms, 20 upper left arms, 20 upper left legs, 20 upper right legs, 20 corpses. Quite predictable results. I think this might spread out the bone fragments more than I'd like. Seven z-levels is probably just perfect if you have some speardwarves there to finish off the survivors.

Unfortunately I just finished filling the 12th level with magma, so I can't see what a 20 level drop will do. Maybe it will break them into their component elements.

That's alot of organs.

I say building a tree out of elven bones is better.

Someone needs to mod the game and make humanoids butcherable. Then someone else needs to make a fortress entirely out of elf soap.

And then cutting it down when more Elven traders come by it.

I find it amusing to put as lots of wardogs in a cage at the entrance to a long passage and then have a pressure plate at the end of the tunnel that opens said cage. Imagine the looks on the faces of those goblins as they realise there really is no escape hehe.
