dogs can run away?
« on: November 13, 2010, 05:48:04 pm »

I just started a fort in a FUN area. I had a trio of ogres come for tea and murder in the second season. Now one of my wardogs was able to score a killing blow on one of them and managed to get a name lektadbesmar "LUREPULLEYS". I was looking him up on legends and found that shortly after he killed the ogre he and i quote;

"In the early summer of 171 lurepulleys fled into the plains of bandits."

This might explain why i cant find him on my units list but i was unaware this could happen. Is this something new for 31.17?

Did you abandon around the same time? That may have something to do with it

No i didn't abandon. I was thinking about it b/c 6 of my 7 died. My fort is still running b/c i got a bunch of migrants.

I just checked the legends and noticed something weird. the dwarf survivor's profile says the same. now i checked and he is still in the fort. Weird?

How did you look at Legends without abandoning the fortress first?

I am not really sure. I checked and was able to start an adventure game as well. The only thing that is non-vanilla is the graphics set. I downloaded the new Phoebus graphic set with 31.17. I got the lazy one with the set already installed in the game.

If you can look at the legends, and have the option to start an adventure game, then your fortress was either abandoned or lost when all your dwarves died or went insane.  Your dog fled into the wilderness, which is what happens to any surviving units when your fortress is abandoned.
