They can also be free, or constructed in place. I guess yours are free since you got prisoners in them, probably from cage traps. Either works, just different techniques. Free cages are placed in animal stockpiles, and using the method below, with a grid of hatches over holes in the middle of the stockpile, you can easily dump them straight down into the holes, with no danger apart from thieves escaping. Don´t forget the hatches though. Free cages are also much quicker to transport, and using this method, can quickly throw them all into the arena. The slower method involve constructed cages. Construct the relevant cages in the arena, they are often named "Goblin Cage", etc, and then link them to a lever through mechanisms. When the lever is pulled, the cage is deconstructed and emptied, with no danger of thieves escaping. That can however happen if you move all the prisoners to one cage, because they might escape while being moved. That method is better for reducing the number of cages you need to link up to your levers though, but I suggest you only use it for tame animals, not hostile prisoners, so for the 50 dogs you send on the goblins. Always keep soldiers nearby when pitting thieves or moving hostiles between cages. Beware that if many are moved at the same time, one free might spook your dorfs to release their own prisoners. The free cage method is described below. http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Mass_pitting | ||

NOOOOOOOO! I was halfway done and the game quit. I didn't save ): I have lost 2 dwarfs so far. One was a cook who got ambushed by a party of goblins who payed dearly for it. The second was my captain of the guard (I had assigned him the position less that 2 minutes ago) and one of my hammerdwarfs went on a tantrum killing two animals and my captain of the guard. I did not set up the scheduling right so he was on patrol constantly and his pet died and I was still in the process of building a memorial hall. | ||

You were killed in the save I lost. You led the charge against a FIFTH forgotten beast, one made of fire, fought it in an epic battle, with dwarfs and fire everywhere, killed it, took a few steps away and succumbed to your wounds. An honorable death. | ||

This place is a fucking mess... EDIT: Do you want me to impose some sort of population cap on the game while i play? We're at 193. | ||

That part where I wrote siege while talking about rocks? The siege actually came AS I WROTE about rocks and bordom. I think the population cap is for migrants. There is a different cap for children born in the fort. IIRC: you can set your cap to like 15 and then grow only through dwarf reproduction. | ||
