| Summary | 0005660: Vampire queen arrives with no (or partial) false identity | ||||
| Description | The recently arrived queen is shown as "queen vampire" all the time. Her description shows signs of false identity (59 years old), but she is listed as "queen vampire" and "Ñ", and uses her real vampire name 'Kûbuk Kasbeniden' (according to legends). Maybe leaders do not need any cover any more, and with more than 4000 sentient kills she would be a bit suspicious anyway, but that's too easy. | ||||

She might be a "Tyrant" - a vampire who openly rules as a vampire, and demands sacrifices be made to him/her, which are supposed to exist in worldgen/adventurer mode. Of course, then she shouldn't be trying to hide who she is at all... It might be a little unusual in Fortress Mode if you are given the tools to commit regicide openly, as well. This might be an incomplete feature in the sense that the game should be prepared to handle a tyrant queen coming to rule your fortress and shut off any easy methods of declaring her a vampire and executing her for it, since she's open about what she is, and would presumably take steps to curb vampire-hunting. |

Some further information/strangeness: 1. She is working instead of being "noble", I can assign her labors and she does them. She can also join the military. 2. Her diet is as expected for a vampire. 3. She has normal production demands, no sacrifice involved 4. Her in-fortress victims are listed in "status/kills", although other dwarves have been convicted for the crimes. Other vampires do not display their meals. |
