Tough buggers those dwarves...
« on: April 06, 2010, 06:53:18 pm »

Maybe a bit too tough. It seems that creatures don't die fast enough in DF2010 (see attached screenshot). 5 goblins are standing around this poor dwarf hitting her for 5 minutes, but she still doesn't die.

Well, they are goblins. They aren't renowned for their strength.

for reasons best knows to themselves, the elves decided to explode

I got the Xenomorph mod, and in the first version I spent 3 minutes waling on a poor little wolf. EVERY BONE WAS BROKEN :'(

I guess the wounds are self-inflicted, then?

Dwarves aren't known for their self preservation. Clearly the gobo's just stumbled across her in that state. They're trying to resuscitate her. Those are one of the rare friendly gobo tribes. ;D

The problem, IIRC, is that wounds are not cumulative. You could fracture the right arm into single molecules, and still find new ways to break it, and the arm still would not register as "nonexistant," until you finally falcon-punched the darn thing off. All the cumulative fractures incurred don't really add up to anything more than a series of wounds.

This makes sense. They are not very effective, though, as the list of wounds keeps growing...damn those masochistic teenagers!
