Underground Civilization Questions
« on: July 08, 2010, 01:54:29 pm »

Also, are they always hostile? Or is it possible to peacefully coexist? Trading is probably impossible, though.

In fortress mode they are always hostile
In adventure mode they're bros.

No, they are not random, their's a list somewhere in the raws with all of them.

Only in dwarven culture is alcohol poisoning a death worthed investigating, while being impaled through several toes, a eye, and a thumb from a spiraling water[3] is not.  Because everyone knows, the only way a dwarf could get alcohol poisoning is if someone put poison into the alcohol.

If one slays a forgotten beast, it'll become friendly with you.
Try capturing them in cages and build them an exhibit.
