Getting ride of a spine-injured soldier ?
« on: August 18, 2009, 04:29:44 pm »

Hi

I've got 2 soldier who got injured during training... now they're in their bed and can't move. So, my question is, how do I get ride of them ? I can't forbid bucket because I've got some other injured people...


Or is there a way to make them useful ? Like giving them a crossbow and putting them behind my fortification ?


(first post, yay)

EDIT : Errr, it should be in Gameplay Questions, sorry :(

If they have spinal injuries that aren't paralysing, then give them crossbows. Otherwise, apply magma.

if it is only a gray wound then they will "heal" in other words they will be able to get out of bed in which case you can use them in your crossbow squad
although if they won't get out then you can lock the door if they are in an enclosed area

Apply magma, then water, mine it out, put it in magma again, the mine it out, then atom smash it.

Are they permanently bedridden?

If so, sounds like Fortress Guard material to me.

If something's been lopped off, then they're probably not gonna be of any use to you.

Their spines are yellow, which means (I guess) it won't heal and they're stuck in their bed forever ?

So how can I kill them ? I can't lock the door because other injuried people are their, and I can't move them because they're paralysed... we should be able to Dump dwarves :(

Put them in the Guard (or assign them as sheriff), so they can never catch who they're trying to arrest. The game will recognize that the arrest has been filed, but the "guilty" (for lack of a better term) will never be punished. Win/win.

Another option is to build a wall around said dwarfs. Just construct them their very own 1x1 room around the bed. For bonus points make the entire thing out of the most valuable material you can- it'll be their tomb, after all.

You could also dump magma into the 1x1 room. Then water, and put the obsidian block you get out on show, Han Solo style.

Think of it as a military burial.

Sometimes spin injured people will have a strange mood that seems to also cure them of the paralysis. I just had my carpenter with a broken spine drag himself upstairs to make an artifact crossbow with an image of the wolf that broke his spine.
