Migrant oddity
« on: October 17, 2009, 04:06:38 pm »
Has anyone else had stray war dogs arrive in their migrant waves?  I haven't been able to find out anything about it on the wiki and I've never heard of it happening anywhere else before.

Not sure, I think I somehow got one from a caravan though.

Do you have a random dead dwarf? Sometimes a migrant will die immediatly onb spawning,which would turn any pets it had into strays, IIRC.

Have you ever trained any wardogs yourself in the fort? Or took some on embark?
I have never ever seen a migrant arrive with a trained animal..

No, and the war dog was nameless, so I'm pretty sure it's never belonged to anyone.

I have a lot of war dogs, but I'm certain this one came in the migrant wave and didn't just happen to be wandering around there.

I'm incredulous - never seen this.  I'd want to bet it's one of yours that you've lost track of. 

But anything's possible, if at least as a glitch.  :-\

Did it follow the "beeline" path that the other migrants did upon arrival, or wander around?

All my war dogs are caged/chained and it was flashing a grey X.
