Stopped woodcutters from using axes without edges (like training axes)
« on: May 26, 2016, 02:39:15 pm »
I really liked this bug and will be sad to see it go.  Yes, completely unrealistic, but we're playing mystical overseer to a fortress of dwarves who can dig sand with pickaxes so what does realism have to do with any of this?

Ye know, being an usurper overseer gone mad with power isn't too bad. It's honestly not that different from being a normal overseer.

To summarize:
They do an epic face. If that fails, they beat said object to death with their beard.

Games definitely don't need to be realistic, but I'm all for them fixing all the bugs.

Feature or bug kind of depends on POV though. I definitely thought of this one as a feature.  Dwarfs are so hardcore they impart edges to any implement they use! ;)

I felt the same way about the personality rewrite and the alcoholism effects.  Yes, it's great that dwarves care about more things and have more detailed personalities. At the same time, the wacky, off-balance dwarven personality and immunity to alcohol made it clear how different they are from humans or stereotypical game characters and I kind of miss that.
