The fish take a stand.
« on: January 31, 2012, 06:13:09 am »
I was leafing through combat reports vs. various wildlife in Fortress mode, when I came across this little gem:

The Carp attacks the Miner but She jumps away!
The Carp stands up.
The Carp. Stands up.
What.  :o
(Screencap on DFFD)

I kind of pictured it balancing on its tails and holding up curled-up fins in a boxing stance... Of course, its mouth would point straight upwards.  :D

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.

If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

This is a known typographical error. Really got me at first, same with 'The [aquatic animal] has drowned!'

In terms of being underwater, I suppose it's come off the bottom of the water? If it was on land, maybe it flopped up a bit? The phrase '[fish] has drowned' occurs because they suffocate in air, but not due to damage. Just typographical errors.

Right now Rampages seem to be Godzilla quietly walking into Tokyo, biting the leg off of one reporter... then creeping off again without a sound.

maybe it's not an error?

the fish stands up. he is now on his belly and not flopping around on his side :)

The crossbow squad, 'The Bolts of Fleeing' wouldn't even show up.
I have an art blog now.
