Mmm...could you use them as your own make shift peasant army/guards? Would be interesting to see them take care of most of your "outside" problems (though I guess the FPS would kill everything first).

Did it have a nasty syndrome, like necrotic blood? That should cause megadeath in the space of a few months.
So the humans will form an awesome band?  :P

Well, as exciting as this all sounds, it's actually about as thrilling as watching paint dry. I'm going to head to bed and resume tomorrow.  Looks like those 3 mole fiends have killed something like 500 of the humans, and don't show any signs of stopping.

:edit: and I'm back

:Edit2: and bed again.  I left it running all day, and we're at around 1500 dead (and 4 fps)  The giant moles are showing no sign of slowing down, despite the fact that one of them has a broken skull.  A dwarven child caught outside the vault was killed in a human home, and another unlucky dwarf came to get him.  A few tiles away from the house he went "OH SHIT MOLE GUY" dropped the child, and ran away.  Another dwarf promptly picked up the child, and put it it back in the house with the demon in it.  Turns out this lowly cheesemaker was also a legendary wrestler and fighter.  Didn't do him much good against the mole I'm afraid.  I'll have to check my migrants more carefully from now on.

Have you seen it if he was legendary before he fought with the demon?
Because wrestling and fighting levels EXTREMLY fast when wrestling with demons,megabeasts,titans and forgotten beasts.
Fast like in, three times wrestling = legendary.

Didn't check, but he wasn't in the military before I sent him to his doom.  The amount of "splatter" is actually disappointingly small because the mole fiends were wrestling everyone to death.  Very rarely they'd toss someone (by very rare, I mean it happened like 10 times) and they'd hit something and go *splat*.  There were other clowns, but they were extremely week.  Usually, they'd get overwhelmed by only 1 or 2 unarmed humans.  Pretty much everyone was killed very slowly by those 3 mole fiends.

Here's a pic I took before they mopped up the last few stragglers.  They seem to be partying in a shop.

That's after probably about 24 hours (in real time).  FPS stayed around 4, and abruptly went up to 10(!) when they had killed all but about 300 or so.  The framerate goes down quite a bit when you look at that particular z-level.

This was all extremely boring to watch.  The moles would usually attack someone on the fringes, and then a bunch of other guys would come and try and help the victim of the attack.  One by one, the humans would succumb to purple blinky death.  After taking down the mob that was attacking it, a lot of the time the mole went into a house and chilled for a bit, throwing a chair or 2.  A groundhog or something would inevitably run in front of the door and lure the mole out, starting the whole cycle over again.  Very rarely some other clowns would come up the shaft.  I don't think any of them even made it outside.

:edit: Wait, the clowns have the CAN_LEARN tag right?  Doesn't that mean that their fighting skills and such increase with use?  If that's the case, killing them attempting to kill them as an adventurer could be a lot of Fun.
