Guys, I want to start an interesting megaproject: extremely high kills for one character, preferably of uniques.  Hopefully, it will top Tholtig's kills. (2,500 unique kills would be awesome.)  In order to do this, it seems best to continuously mass-produce cage traps.  Then, put the cages in the gladitorial arena for my champion to kill (he will be at a safe vantage point, sniping them with a crossbow).  After a few years, when my defenses are ready, I will go to war with the humans and elves, to provide a ready pool of sacrifices.

I would like advice on how to best execute this, and put style into it.

P.S. - how do I trap kobolds for this guy to kill, as they always escape cage traps

[twwolfe]

in order to be better than tholtig, you should kill them with a hammer. tis the dwarven way to do it


to make them easier to kill, "dump" designate the cage when they're in it, so when they're released, they'll have no armor or weapons to fight back with, making them easy kills.



as to kobolds, try removing the "trapavoid" tag from them in the raws.

You're seriously just have a sniper killer?

Be a man dwarf and kill them the right way. With a hammer. Give him lots and lots of platemail.

You might want to make a stockpile of platinum bars (or whatever) right on the edge of the map. You don't want the weeny 'Kobold Sneaks' but full-fledged sieges.

Step one: Train dwarf for 10 years non-stop in wrestling.

Step two: Release dwarf to slaughter all ambushes.

Step three: At this point you might want to make armour or a weapon for them.

Step four: Burn the world.

How many kills does Morul have?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think that pulling a lever that kills something by retracting spikes adds to the puller's kill list. This may be a lot easier then dumping enemies into a hole with your dwarf, and it will be a lot faster then training and fighting.

Wait... can you level up fighting skills (such as Wrestler) infinitely?

 You can level any skill further than Legendary+5, you just don't get any meaningful benefit beyond stat boosts for non-military skills by doing so.  If there is an upper limit, nobody's hit it yet.  Presumably it's 255 or 65535, both of which are quite a bit higher than Legendary+5's measly 20 levels.

He won't go far until a stray arrow kills him.

According to http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Seige#Kobolds the kobolds will just stand on the edge of the map, firing arrows, until you send a dwarf to kill them.  I only want kobold seiges if they will go to their doom.

Step two: Release dwarf to slaughter all ambushes.

Step three: See as he gets a random kobold arrow in his throat and dies.

Fixed.

I don't actually put much effort into actually training my champions so it's never really a FUUUUUU moment when one dies.

You're planning to accumulate kills in a controlled environment and you think he'd be comparable to Tholtig?

Blasphemy.

Any constructive suggestions to make it a more fun megaproject?
