Dealing With Undead Prisoners
« on: September 04, 2010, 11:36:08 pm »

Though the use of cage traps I have collected quite the stockpile of undead warthogs undead vulchers and the occasional undead lion or jaguar.
Any Suggestions on what do with them ?

 The Oseodrome: two skeletal creatures enter, one leaves!

 Or if you're feeling boring, you could sell them to the Elven caravans.  I'm sure they'd be delighted to have horrible undead abominations to keep them company in their forest retreats.

Why sell them? Just offer them to the elves in your very closed off depot, make sure to lock your door so your dwarves don't steal them. Also don't include the cage, cages are sold seperateley....

I've never actually seen undead attack eachother though.

I don't know why I never thought of doing this before. Now I have away to dispose of my excess creatures easily.

I've tried moving untamed creatures in cages to the depot and they escape.

If the releasing caged animals you want to trade bug is still in place the best thing to do is probably just to use them against goblins.

Drop them behind a moat and use them as live target practice.

Make a pit trap at your entrance filled with zombies. When you get sieged, well, you know what to do.

I actually decided to kill them all simply with a squad.. I created a pit and pitted them of course they got out their cage.. just to be surrounded and cut down by my squad.. I got the cage back and i can butcher the bodies for horns,Ivory,Bones,skulls, My craft shops are working away at the remains right now..

Sure wasn't a fancy way of getting rid of them.. the Pit Trap sounded pretty awesome.. but dwarven practicality got the better of me and I decided turn them into a resource.
Ive also setup some Weapon traps at the entrance of my fort to stream line the undead into crafts process

Now I can concentrate on my Magma Tower

Only in Dwarf Fortress can you mine the undead for profit.
