So I have a fort that's in its 23rd year or something. And about 20 children have been kidnapped. I've noticed something about these kidnapped children.

In the units menu, they're shown as alive (with their job section being blank like all the other children). You can zoom to them, but it just zooms to an empty spot where they were when the goblin grabbed them. You can also zoom to them in the relationships screen, where the same thing happens.

You can also assign these kidnapped children to rooms, and all rooms that they've already been assigned to stay assigned to them even though they're not present anymore.

I have a save if you need it, Toady. I can even make a little list of children that have been kidnapped so you can look them up in the room assignment menu and the unit menu.

Your kidnapped children are still alive.

Fifty years from now, they'll return as child catchers. When your military kills them, they'll be given a proper dwarven burial.

Plus they come back with dwarven sized iron gear.














I think I just found a use for children.

[Stormrage]

Oh, Rowanas! Don't be so cruel - they are just children!

I didn't think they could come back, with the whole "siegers are still generated at the edge of the fortress map" thing and the "history does not go on outside your fortress" thing. I still think there needs to be a Kidnapped status.
