Can I force attack innocent dwarves?
« on: January 14, 2012, 12:20:18 pm »

I'm wondering if it's possible to force some of my military dwarves to murder innocent immigrant dwarves?

Nope, short of forcing them to go insane and hoping for bezerkers, and if you did find some way of doing so youd end up with a loyalty cascade...

Hm, so I guess if I want to try this challenge I'd have to make some kind of death trap to kill off any friendly units, then?

Or set a very low popcap so that after the 2 hardcoded waves you will "probably" not get any more migrants.

Bear in mind you always have the option of "accidentally" causing a cave in on top of them, "accidentally" lowering a drawbridge while they're working under it, "accidentally" flooding their bedrooms, or any number of other "accidents."

I see you haven't been making half of your population berserk >:|

No, once berserk, Dorfs become an enemy of your civ, and former members, killing them gives no loyalty cascades :)

Heh, upon re-reading it wasnt too clear. I meant no you cant, unless you make them bezerk, and even if you could order them killed when non bezerk, you would get a cascade, like killing the caravan gets you...
