Is there a way to manuelly induce rage berserking dwaves?
« on: January 09, 2011, 10:18:29 pm »

I am in need of making a dwarf go into blood-lust mode for an role-play, but I'm not sure if it is possible.  Can it be done, even with an outside program?  Or at least tell them to attack fellow fort dwellers?

Whether they go mad, melancholy, or berserk is completely random.  However, you can induce these states by putting them in a locked room with only stagnant water that is considered outside.  It will take awhile, but they will survive on water and vermin until they decide living isn't worth it anymore.

You could always have the dwarf in question attack a dwarven merchant. The attacking dwarf suddenly becomes an enemy of your civilization and will attack anybody who belongs to it. Although that could very well result in a loyalty cascade ( which ends up with everybody being an enemy of everybody else ). Still, it's extremely entertaining.

Yeah, in the future you probably shouldn't strike the earth quite so hard

You could assign him as many hunting dogs as possible, then kill them all at once.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers
