[40d] tamed exotic creatures hate liasons.
« on: September 07, 2009, 09:10:10 am »

I start a map, manage to catch a giant bat and giant cave swallow in cage traps when I accidentally tunnel into a bottomless pit, leave them in my stockpile and forget about them till the dungeon master turns up and I assign my animal trainer to tame them since the DM is busy smelting. As soon as the dwarven caravan arrives and the liason enters my fort they both attack and kill him. They both have the tame animal designation, and the stray animal one as well, so it's not the 'buying exotic animals before you can tame them breaks them' bug, it looks like it's something different. I have a save a minute or so before the caravan arrives if anyone wants to check the problem out.

Three things:

1. This is funny.

2. Have the creatures ever killed a dwarf that you know of? It may have in world gen, so they are never truly tamed.

3. Possibly, since the Dungeon Master didn't tame them they could be not fully tamed.

Yeah, I'm really leaning my suspicions on number 3 there. Also whoops, looking through those links, it seems someone with a name very similar to mine posted a very similar thread, hehe.

Oh wow, you posted two of those.  Guess I'll add this one to that compilation and make it three.
