Forgotten Beast composed of saltpeter
« on: April 22, 2010, 09:26:49 pm »

My first question is, does saltpeter in the game work the same way as real life?  My second question is, what is the most entertaining way of dealing with this menace?

Oh and his entire body is broken... it seems that in kicking some dogs I trapped underground his dust breath has destroyed himself.  But still he walks.

Oh, never mind.  Somehow my dogs have distracted him into self-destruction, even though their entire bodies have been repeatedly hit with explosions of boiling and then freezing dust clouds whenever they draw near. 

The monster did leave behind two piles of 'Ata's Saltpeter'... one is worth 11k.

Use sulpher spears and charcoal bolts. Beat until well mixed*.

*You'll know when this is by the sudden lack of beast**.

**You will need to continue this beating until contact reactions and gunpowder are implemented***.

***I hate footnotes directly following the noted line.

Welp, there goes your fortress's birth rate.

What he couldn't kill in living dwarfs, he prevented in ones that won't be born.
