What's this we got here?
« on: June 19, 2011, 10:59:55 am »

I was looking at the new pictures in the dev thing, and I noticed something...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What're those dwarves up to?...

I also noticed the Elves in the houses with the Humans. I thought they were the kind of animal you keep in fields, not in your house?

Did Elves become house-pets when I wasn't looking?

The dwarves embarked there because that's how Toady tends to get these kind of large area screenshots.

They are probably planning on undermining the whole city.  That's what Dwarves did back when we could embark on human settlements.  First order of business, collapse everything.

...Dwarves are kinda like minecraft or AoS trolls that way.

I wonder if the mass genocide committed on a daily basis was why we can no longer embark on them...

...Dwarves are kinda like minecraft trolls or AoS normal players who want to keep people from tunneling under them that way.
undermining sites isn't a troll act unless you build a house on top of it and if so drink magma.

well embarking on them with utility force will lead to them being hostile so I guess yeah mass genocide by undermining must been the case.
