Actually, insanity doesnt always result in the death of the afflicted dwarf. A dwarf that goes berserk can survive if he succesfully kills all the other dwarfs in your fortress. This might be a realistic possibility for someone like a champion in full adamantium armor. Diabl0658 21:49, 30 November 2007 (EST)
- wouldn't that cause a game-over? Berserk dwarves are "hostile" like a goblin Coelocanth 22:30, 30 November 2007 (EST)
- A berzerk dwarf will not eat, drink, or sleep so even if it does not cause a game over, he will eventually starve. --BurnedToast 22:32, 30 November 2007 (EST)
- What if you reclaim the fort after the he kills everyone? The berserk dwarf might still be standing around, just like sane dwarfs sometimes are if you abandon and then reclaim. Diabl0658 22:38, 30 November 2007 (EST)
