Coagulated blood is a real food, even when it isn't combined with meat to make sausage or pudding, so you'd be completely justified in editing the raws.  Is there an actual use for blood-in-barrels in vanilla df yet?

No.

And I can't wait till we can mill bone to make gelatin.  Mm...  Jello.

Would blood painting work if you drop the barrel several Z levels above the target?
Sadly, no.  Barrels, like bins and cages and all other objects, aren't damaged by falls, nor do they ever spill their contents.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Glass aquariums filled with blood...

No, its realistic.

I dont think realism is a major concern in a game about alcoholic midgets fighting dragons and soapmen.

I'd fill a moat with goblin blood.  Then alter the raws to create a new breed of carp that could survive in it.

Should keep the little bastards away.

If you're creating new breeds, aquatic elephants should be your goal.

I don't know if anyone will catch what I'm thinking right now, but I wonder if Toady will ever allow creatures to be created by means of a breath weapon...?

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

The day we can catapult arbitrary objects will be a good day for DF.
Although frankly, I'd imagine, say, goblins and elves would end up as the ammo of choice over blood.
What about cows?

Dwarven economics are still in the experimental stages. The humans have told them that they need to throw a lot of money around to get things going, but every time the dwarves try all they just end up with a bunch of coins lying all over the place.

'elephant breath' would no longer merely be an insult.
