[joeybowling]

heres what you do get some random jerk and make him in his own squad then send him close to them then release him from the military and hope he runs twords the cage traps you set up near by

I once tried to capture Antmen, but they all just wandered around happily as though they had [TRAPAVOID], although I couldn't find it in their raws.

Creatures which are native to your map (including most animalmen civilizations) are immune to cage traps for some strange reason.

Unless properly webbed, of course...

I've never done it, but I imagine webbing a load of cage traps with a GCS is a pain.

Actually a dodge-this trap with lever-activated upright training spears and cage traps where the creatures fall (possibly 1 z-level down) would be easier.

They might have been friendly rather than enemies. That happens sometimes with the underground animalmen.

I set up a system for webbing traps, it's not all that difficult once you realize how to do it.  It basically relies on two factors.  !) GCS will only web what they can path to and 2) Hatches activate -instantly- when triggered by a plate or level, as opposed to bridges and doors on a slight delay.
