Can they be turned into barons as well?

Dunno, but I can't assign my tame GCS mayor an office, so I doubt it. Was quite hilarious to imagine him conversing with a trade liasion, though.

I beg to differ.

I find they will generally use an office once occupied by someone, but vacated (say by an unfortunate accident). I used to keep my werewolf baroness chained up in the throne room, and unchained when the liason came, but for some reason she always took him to the crappy ex-manager's office to do all the business.

Okay, knowing that game coding can be kind of wonky, I have to ask if it's possible for the tigerman to eat without me butchering food.

I have about a dozen caged goblins, stripped of all armor and weapons. Will he be able to eat them?

Tigermen will only eat uncooked meat, drink only fresh water, and will never use a well. They have no preferences, and so will never issue a mandate. They can't perform any labors, regardless of any skills they may have. They will, however, still socialize with other dwarves, and will hang out in meeting areas.

Actually, they only socialize with other tigermen.  Mine wouldn't gain any social skills until such time as I got other tigermen.

Water isn't too hard to manage:  just make a dwarven bathtub and then mark it as a water source.  Meat, too, isn't that bad so long as you butcher one of your useless animals every so often.  Or just stock up on meat from the caravans.  I never had a problem supplying it, personally.

The bigger problem is that tigermen do nothing and have nothing to do but breed, so they can suck up your FPS over time, which is a pity.

No, because you can't butcher them (they're sentients) and they won't just eat corpses; you need to have actual meat.

Really? I thought they could be mayor. I mayor with no likes/dislikes is perfect for people who don't like mandates.

I'm thinking of modding them to be more easy to manage. A simple [INTELLIGENT] tag, and removing the [CARNIVORE] tag might just do the trick. IF this cannot be done, I'm just going to put him in my volcano and drop goblins on him occasionally. If he won't eat them, then he's too stupid to live.

Oh, they *can* be mayor.  I never said they couldn't.  All I was trying to say is that they didn't seem to gain any social skills until I had other tigermen for them to talk to.  They most certainly can become no-mandate mayors for your fortress.

The meat was never really an issue for me.  I just bought enough of it off of the caravans that I never had trouble.  I always have such huge supplies of food that it's insane.  And I could have butchered any of a hundred or more animals in the communal cage if I had wanted to.

He's too much trouble if the nest elf caravan comes through without a female for baby-making. If elves are sans-tigerwomen, this abomination is wrestling naked goblins for the rest of his life.

I just need to build him a water supply inside the volcano pit I've been using for a torture room.

Yeah.



Something awesome.

Do dwarves preferentially go for higher value food? If so then your raw meat should be safe as long as you have some good plump helmet spawn seed roasts lieing about.
