Dwarven Retirement?
« on: August 07, 2011, 08:43:18 pm »

My manager/trader/book keeper/duke has apparently decided that enough is enough and been "On Break" for an entire year.  He'll conduct meetings and then immediately go back to being on vacation.

Anybody know how to break him out his stupor, I really need his talents.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

You cannot interrupt a break.

I suggest you give the useful noble positions to someone else until he is cured.

Dukes are immune to justice. And even if they weren't the player cannot order a specific dwarf to be hammered.

No, yep. That's what I meant too. I want to come out of the theater completely fucked up for weeks.

He's the manager AND broker.  He does a lot of important things.  If he's going to relax in his room all the time, hook up running water to it (preferably 7/7 through the entire room with an openable drain for easy cleaning)

Give all his positions to someone who isn't a lazy bastard. Use his office for the other dwarf, just to rub it in.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Hi, I see you don't understand that communication encompasses nonliteral meanings!

Same to you  :P

And hammerers are broken and thus couldn't be assigned anyways.

I know that magma is the cure all and this is a noble and all but this dwarf is important and has been with me from the start.

I guess I'll just see if he breaks out of it eventually but I was mostly curious as to whether anybody else had a dwarf that decided they were done working for the rest of their life.

Now I feel a serious urge to have these hooked to every nobles room.

<-- Has no idea what just happened.

He likes gold, native gold, trees that are made of gold, and tungsten. He likes cats for their haunting meows. He needs dwarf fortress to get through the working day. When possible, prefers to consume Potatoes, cheese, cow milk. Absolutely detests elves. And spiders.

I do it to the trade depot, myself.  Free goods and I'm (fairly) certain it won't piss off the trading race as it's technically an environmental kill.

No trade goods return, people will get pissed.
