Neighboring Civilizations: Dwarves, Lizard men, Bat Men?
« on: April 14, 2010, 02:32:42 am »

I have had fortresses have problems with Batmen from Chasms before. The idea behind entire Civilizations of them worries me. Can they siege?

Na, there not so bad!
Just don't annoy them and they won't annoy you.

PROTIP: Going anywhere near them annoys them.

I had a tigerman get elected mayor and he promptly mandated 3 bowls of cereal.

Thanks for that.
My ears went pointy for a second there, but all good now.

They'll also annoy you if they happen to get into battle with an Unkillable who fails to kill them.  Naming weapons seems to be a thing with them.

And when you build your fortress walls from the bones of skeletal elephants, slain my weapons forged from melted goblin plunder, fed on cattle that graze on grass that blinks.  Then, you will know dwarfdom.

I had an eyeless lizard with skin-wings and deadly spittle show up and proceed to beat up a camp of reptile men. Only three of them survived but it seemed much like neither group was going to suffer further injuries. Turns out the punches of all the dwarves in my 1st year fort were enough to finish it but the camp survivors wrestled much better and did awful things. The fort was down to unplayable fps anyway (desktop is vastly inferior to my laptop in every way except that it is not away for repairs.)
