v0.34:Suicide

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about an older version of DF.

There are several situations in which a dwarf will commit actual suicide. The classic example is a liaison that is locked in and forgotten during a meeting, resulting in insanity and melancholy. He or she will proceed to a swift end in your magma pool, river or a cliff. If no suitable spot can be found, she will fling herself into your one-z-level moat, to no avail, and die in there of thirst and hunger. The same can happen to one of your own dwarves, for example when they fail to finish their artifact.

Another less obvious case of suicide is the husband or wife that suspiciously dies at the same time as the partner. A dwarf who dies of old age will be announced as such: "died of old age" but the spouse will silently go "missing" - a sure sign that something is fishy.
