Livestock

Now that the livestock aren't getting weapons any more...

Who else saw this and was disappointed from the lack of stories to go with it?  Or disappointed about the missed chance for weaponization?

It's the same reason why sharks don't attack lawyers, professional courtesy.

If Toady gave us the complete story of every awesome bug he found, fiction writers the world over would be out of work and television would bow before Zod Armok.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

Maybe if a site was invaded all the civilians would grab weapons, but toady had set it to be that members of that civ and that included animals?

I now have an image of a sheep with an axe lashed to its head charging at an invader :o .

I love how matter-of-fact he was about it. Like, "Yeah, had a little trouble with axe-wielding sheep. You know how it is."

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

Silly Toady, this is Dwarf Fortress, not Animal Farm. I think.

Yep, I think that may be my favorite part of the devlogs, the deadpan way he announces what bugs he fixed.
