Is there any greater motivation for a dwarf than having the opportunity to fight and die for one as glorious as I?
Yes, fighting for me! Slaughter the rabble!

Woah there, lets not get ahead of ourselves. I'm sure fighting for you is a very neat experience, but the experience of fighting for me is somewhere in between absolutely orgasmic and unbelievably life-fulfilling. Not to mention, the added pride boost that comes with being able to associate oneself with me gives a 3+ stat increase to your Elitism level.

Fighting for me is not for reward of ecstasy - they fight for freedom of suffering and worry!
All who associate themselves with me get a 5+ stat increase to apathy!

Hah, freedom! Those who fight for me have no need for freedom! Being under my command is an honor of the highest respect, and spilling blood in my name is a joy of the purest form! Every order I give is like a gift from the heavens themselves, and those fighting for me blissfully live for the sole purpose receiving such gifts.

Really, who needs freedom when you have someone as loving and intelligent as me telling you what to do?

Motivation ? Does a dwarf needs any other motivation than the thrills of battle, the glory of combat and the lust for blood ?

My dwarves go to battle by blindy charging on, with smiles on their faces, praising Armok and swearing doom for they enemies !

Freedom comes with free doors.

Free doors.

The mortality rates in my fortress tends to keep my population around 70-90. And I follow the lives of my Dwarfs obsessively. Plus I check their attributes often to see how they're doing, and SO HELP ME IF I FIND THEY'VE MADE GRUDGES.

How can they fight alongside each other if they fight among themselves?

Orwellian fortress?

It also generates happy thoughts when a grudge dies ^-^

if you don't bury the guy though, the surviving one will get a bad thought when he's put in the hospital after being 'attacked by the dead' lately.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

Burying the dead doesn't keep the dead dead. An axe does though ^-^

More practice!

Nah, Dwarfs with such rivalries are the first to explore the uncharted caverns, AKA the Jabberer Breeding Grounds.  :D
