"Spoils of War" in Stocks Screen
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:14:41 pm »

Am I the only one with this pet peeve? Anything that dies in your fort adds to your imported goods value, inflating it to the point where it's impossible to surpass it with exports unless you chasm every single item that enters your fort...

IIRC, container corpses are going in next version (correct me if I'm wrong), so that should help somewhat... however, I think that items from dead enemies should be in a separate filing in the stocks screen for Spoils of War.

While it's not critically important, it'd help for players who want to measure their self-sufficience and go for a low score on caravan imports.

A forbid/allow option for spoils of war would be a nice addition, also.

Good idea, and possibly relatively straight-forward to implement. :)

I agree with this suggestion. It would make tracking down the particular iron bolt stuck in a dwarf's body a lot easier so it can be removed.
