This makes my plan to recreate the Haunted Mansion that much easier, especially now that we've got grave markers!

Can you imagine the wise old philosophers return, as The Exordorf! Muwaaahs

[Malorn]

I'm going to end up with ghosts my plumbing systems, I just know it.  There's always that one child who wanders into the reservoir for a drink while I'm filling it.  Last one who did that got sucked into the plumbing, and then there's the average citizen who decides to fall into the well or waterfall (despite the grates on the latter, I don't know how that happened).

Weaponizing, however, sounds dangerous given that there is no offswitch, and knowing toady there'll be some quirks that would likely prevent us from popping ghosts on and off.

I just want to say.. did anyone else think this was going to happen when they noticed Toady going "he he he" in the dev-log?

Why are there spoilers in the thread title? Can it be changed please?

Are slabs buildings or constructions?  Because if they're buildings, and if removing them causes the ghost to respawn (if), then just build some slabs where building destroyers can get to them.

Am I the only one who thought "legendary axedwarf. outdoor barracks. starvation." the split second that I saw the thread?

That second if (if removing them causes the ghost to respawn) seems unlikely.

Best idea so far seems to be create a starvation room (Crypt?) where you want the ghosts to haunt. Like ten tiles in front of your main gate. Next test is whether the combat effectiveness of the dwarf at death effects the deadliness of his ghost or not. It might turn out to be a great use for all those excess potash maker migrant waves. Especially since you can starve them before they develop any meaningful relationships.

Also, if you use squads to get them in the room, make sure they aren't toting food & drinks with them

Fight for us, and nice slabs for everyone!

WHAT SAY YOU?

YOU DON'T FIGHT , NO SLABS FOR YOU

There, I don't think it would be very spoilerish.

In both cases, the answer is slabs.

Use burrows to cause idle couples of dwarves until

Are Ghosts affected by Burrow/previous burrows?

If they just hang around where they went in life then give them a small burrow near your defences or gate etc. so when they appear as ghosts they spend most of their time there?

I agree. It's people like him that started the whole lame-ass clown shit.
