History of a random cripple.
« on: May 21, 2012, 03:18:17 am »
Whilst experimenting with the new minecarts in a fort I created I receive a migrant wave of around twenty, within this migrant wave were dozens of ex-soldiers amoung them one with a Titan kill and...
HOLYCRAP!

Having heard of such astoundingly injured cripples I decide on an investigation of the legends and Unib (who has no kills by the way) starts to seem more and more pathetic.

Apparently he was attacked by Ngom Cuspsins the Lute of Sloths. Interest piqued I decide on an investigation.

And suddenly I find myself wondering how this happened, delving into the events section of the legends I find the battle where this stabbing takes place.

Unib was one lucky dwarf to survive the onslaught of a super goblin. Ironically Ngom was a crossbowman/archer and Unib a bowyer.
Goes to show why you should respect the cripples. I mean the guy has a broken brain and he just keeps on going!

You'd think 60 : 1 is enough to completely destroy an enemy army... but apparently nope, conservation of ninjutsu is in full effect.

I have seen plenty super goblins before but never a survivor of an onslaught from them.

I'd be shocked if dwarves didn't eat the demons they killed. After all, if they're willing to eat a poison spewing monstrosity, why not a flying dinosaur thing that hates all life?

I've had one come as well, but all his wounds healed near instantly after arriving.

I wonder what would happen if you exploited the stasis effect to make exploding dwarves that die as soon as they migrate.

It's already been done with cats. Just mod them to boil at an extremely low temperature. It has no effect during world gen, but as soon as they enter the map...

The goblin was obviously using adventure mode tactics.
