Those elves and thier silly names!
« on: December 21, 2010, 09:47:46 pm »

So, in my newest world, the elves have a retreat called Awialino, and it's in the Forest of Execution, is this saying something?

Yes.  It's saying "I will. I know."  An ancient elven motto usually preceding them sending one of their rarely produced badasses to mop the floor with your legendary artifact wielding dwarves.  That they have a whole settlement named that... bodes ill.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

This man is completely correct. I've experienced it, and it's not pretty.... Legendary speardwarf with artifact armor and adamantine spear gets stabbed in the throat by some elf spearmaster with upwards of fifty kills to his name.

Do not underestimate the tree-lovers.
