I embrace our vampire overlords.  Actually I think with some world gen experimentation you could probably end up with a fort with vampires, werewolves and necromancers and can stage some ridiculous epics.

Three dwarf noble houses: one for each cavern: one ruled by vampires, one a werewolf clan, and one worshippers of a necromancer who raises the dead.

Bonus points for carefully managing a loyalty cascade and complex bridge system until the houses actually war with each other in a controlled way.

...Ah man when is the new update?

More sacrifices to Armok are clearly needed...

Ha, isn't it likely the vampire would come as a diagnostician migrant, trying to blend into the healthcare system:

"You, I saw you taking blood from Urist, you're a bloody VAMPIRE! GUARDS! GUARDS!"
"Look, according to Urist's severe condition an application of cupping to this particular area is medically totally sound. You know, to separate the bad humours that circulate in Urist's body."
"Er, I see. Well then, sorry, I'll be off then seeing things done."
"Good man, you do that."

Can't beat them, join them.

I on the other hand, plan to beat them.

Quote from: Toady
The last thing I got to was getting the historical dwarven vampires infected from world gen to come as migrants on occasion. Next up will be getting them to feed. This will leave one of your own dwarves zombies routinely doing troubling things to the rest of your population, without you knowing immediately who is responsible. In order to make this a fun thing rather than an annoying thing, we're going to revamp the justice system a bit so that you can have crimes that have been committed (in the Justice screen, say) where the perpetrator is not known. In this case, the plan is to then have a witness to a bloodfeeding be able to report that to a guard/sheriff/etc., and then that'll be available for you when you decide on somebody to accuse/arrest/punish. You'll be able to accuse the wrong dwarf, and we might have the vampire or grudge-holding dwarves level false accusations that'll muddy the witness accounts a bit. It should be entertaining once it is tweaked and tested, but first I need to get the guts of it in.

This is what I want! >:3

Somehow I get the feeling that someone out there would not care at all about dwarf justice. The vampires can feed as long as there is magma.

Oh look, my king is a vampire. Unfortunate accident will occur.

I wonder if vampires are immune to magma just like clowns?

"Burn the heretic lest it consume us all!"

Other idea, if people start walling off their fort with only the starting seven, what will happen to the migrant vamps? Guarding your perimeter while feeding on the unworthy  :D

I just had a thought... As much as a vampire-run fort would be nigh-on indestructible, surely the Mountainhomes would strenuously object to such a thing, and quite likely attempt to attack and destroy it, freeing the slaves and blood-cattle from their bloodsucking overlords?
Could be EPIC. 8)
