How did you die the last time you tried to clear out a hamlet?
« on: January 25, 2013, 11:50:41 am »

I know everyone tried this thing, I was an Elven spearman and it was night, so I easily killed people since they were sleeping, I have had a little problem the very first building I entered, I apparently attacked someone but it didn't kill him, so he woke up and started to fight me, I only had a bunch of bruises after I eventually killed him, I was traveling through the buildings until I got 39 kills. I finally went to the building where the king distort or whatever that guy is and killed him, fortunately I didn't steal any of his stuff. The next building I went to, to my surprise, had 2 farmers that were awoke, and they were waiting for me to get inside the building, the first farmer grabbed me by my little finger, but it was easy and I just killed him. (The building still had alot of other humans.). The next human farmer was skilled, I couldn't see where he was actually so I just started killing everybody as he was grabbing me and punching me violently. So I stepped out to the entrance so I can see where the farmer is, when I saw him, it was too late, he grabbed my throat and he choked me to death.

I didn't die while I was clearing it out, but did die as a result. I was playing as a human hammerlord vampire. I had taken the skill/attribute list from the wiki seeing as I wasn't quite yet interested in experimenting with char design. I had been doing things normally, taking missions, fighting bandits and night creatures, etc. One day, I decided to try to feed in a city for some stupid reason I can't remember. I sucked a farmer who then instantly woke up, along with the rest of the city. I actually managed to kill the entire city, and obviously became at odds with the entire human race (Oddly enough, only one empire existed for the humans.) So, I then went to a goblin bandit camp and killed a few goblins, and choked one to feed on later. Then, the chief came along, who happened to be a wrestler of some description (Obviously high ranking, though I don't remembered if he was legendary, grand master, etc.) He charged at me, knocking me over. He then promptly ripped my right arm off and split my brain with it. The arm might have actually been taken off by something like a goblin swordsman I failed to notice, but the chief got a hold of it somehow.

The village I unretired in apparently didn't really like me, and so they all died a horrible, horrible death in horror and infighting.
But wait, where does that say that I died - you may be asking yourself --

But you see, the joke is on you, because little did you know that I was already dead inside as a husk that scratched and bit everything in sight for fun.

god are husks boring

Covered head to toe in bronze armour, I walked into the hamlet and calmly proceeded to kill everyone. Disappointed by the lack of challenge (the mayor held out with a lasher bodyguard and two marksmen, but they too were killed), I decided to go drown myself.

Thus we see, only I could kill me.

Why didn't you use magma to kill yourself, i.e. jump into a volcano?

When trying out playing a bronze colossus, i antagonised a town explicitly in order to get the char killed. I did this by going to the market at dawn and sawing every available person's nose off with a *large serrated silver disc* i had liberated from an old fortress. Then i laid down and waited. This took quite a long time, but i think laying down actually made my demise possible in the first place - it seems that as long as a colossus is standing on its feet, most attacks will simply glance off (shot projectiles are a notable exception).

I never chanced upon the idea of killing off a village 'just because i could'. Even with a vampire, i was quite reluctant to feed on people from friendly civs. I did that once or twice, and made damn sure that the victim was alone in the house and fast asleep, and that my character was stealthed to avoid even the last tiny chance of being observed.

That's because your sanity has yet to decay into a tiny marble that is sitting in the corner of your brain in the fetal position, begging for mercy. I prescribe more Dwarf Fortress.

I once got bored with a ridiculously overpowered adventurer I had and lured an entire hamlet into surrounding me, attacking me with the force of several hundred angry peasants.
They never stood a chance.

1. Considerable lack of magma.
2. Only a human bronze god of war, water sufficed.

I played as a Vampire dwarf that was insanely hard to kill, with a fit of boredom I went into a hamlet and start punching people to death (no shield) killed a few but one house had a bowman. Suffice to say, they got a shot on my head. I was a bit glad my character died even if it was a bit lackluster...
