Oh you silly little beardy men
« on: July 12, 2010, 11:48:16 am »

Silly little dwarves. If you're going to make a 1,670,000 dwarfbuck artefact out of adamantite wafers, adamantite cloth and two lots of adamantite ore, then call it 'the unknown killer', why would you make this godlike construction a cloth millstone?

If only this were pre-40.x, the dwarf who created it would never put it down (and thus be a Legendary+++ Bludgeoner, in effect).

I keep telling people how I had a Legendary dwarf lugging around a steel coffin that he beat goblins to death with.

I liked to imagine the looks on the gobbo's faces when they see this dwarf hauling a coffin into battle behind him, bashing them 20 tiles and into trees where they exploded.

The fortress of Headshoots had the champion HolisticDetective, who beat anything and everything to death with her ≡giant rat leather backpack≡.

Not to forget captain Ironblood's legendary cabinet (or was it a coffer?) in Nist Akath... Yep, dwarves have a strange choice in weapons sometimes.

That's why I lock up my armor and weapons smiths in small rooms until they get a mood. At least in previous versions, I've yet to find clownite.
