Not all combat is Dwarf Fortress is lethal, to-the-death fighting. Several different levels of confict exist and are used in different circumstances.
In adventurer mode, you can view the level of combat with any particular enemy with the look command.
Levels
The levels revealed in the object testing arena are as follows:
- No quarter
- Lethal
- Non-lethal
- Brawl
- Training
- Horseplay
- Encounter
One other is commonly found in adventurer mode, despite that strictly speaking, it is not a level of conflict:
- Ally
No Quarter
An attacker who gives no quarter will refuse to accept surrender or otherwise spare the life of an opponent, meaning the conflict will not end until either the opponent is dead or the attacker retreats. No-quarter mode is caused by either required kill ethics (where surrendering would allow cheating the justice system), fighting with a non-sapient animal (which does not understand the concept of surrender), or the opponent faking surrender (so the attacker will not fall for such tricks again).
Lethal
Lethal combat is a fight to the death, but surrender may still be accepted to end the combat.
