Yeti's Revenge
« on: February 15, 2011, 11:01:06 am »

So say you start a fort in a frozen biome, OK? First thing you do is head for the caverns, but there's this annoying yeti that keeps bothering your workers. What would you do? I sent my workers to drive it off, but they all dropped any weapons that would be useful and just beat it to a bloody pulp with their fists. after a few days I gave up and sent them back to work, leaving the yeti lying in the snow. Five months later, i get the message that one of my dwarves has been struck down, and i look to find the very yeti i had dealt with before, covered in scars, running through my still small fortress killing indiscriminately. I only have one dwarf left, and im hoping that a migration will come before the yeti kills him too. Let me know your thoughts on the matter.

It would seem that if you want to kill something, you better finish the job.

Dude, you've created a Yeti with nothing to lose.

You've created Yeti Batman.

This sounds like the plot for a bad horror movie

I don't know, but I recently had my unarmed newly embarked dwarves try to kill a bilzzard man and even though they knocked it down and stunned it, it wouldn't die no matter how many times they punched it in the head "bruising the muscle". They must have punched it in the head 200 times with no apparent effect. I don't know about yetis, but don't try to kill those guys without edged weapons.

Wall it up, try to get food or a pick axe in your dwarf's reach. Wait for migrants to come in. Get your revenge by flooding the room with magma after you get on your feet again.

Now you need to start breeding them as training dummies

This is the greatest Yeti-related thing I have ever heard.

Cage traps.  Definitely cage traps.  Then have your survivor put the caged yeti in his room.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
