Terminator was a dwarf!
« on: September 20, 2011, 02:30:05 pm »
I just had a goblin siege, I stationed my first squad behind the traps, quite a bit away, so that if any goblin went through the traps they would pick them up.

That's when I noticed a single sworddwarf going at the whole goblin group alone(10-15 goblins). I tried to set station again but she was just going at them(the rest of the group stayed behind). She charged the goblins:

I won't put the other 8 pages of slaughtering that went on there, just let it be known that she didn't take one hit and routed the goblins alone(killing 6 in the process) :p. She even managed to get kills with the pommel, bashing skulls :p.

Here's the sad part:

"She really doesn't care about anything anymore." :(

Anyway really impressive feat for an accomplished swordman, I think I will give her a new full gold bedroom, study and dining room to celebrate, even if she doesn't care anymore :(.

So, do you have sad tales of dwarves charging to their death to meet only victory?

Nah, the Terminator(s) was (were) too tall for Dwarfs. More like forgotten beasts in humanoid form, its body made of steel. :P Still nicely fought for her over there.

Clown more like it.

Taking over all of human civilization? Body of steel contorted into human form? Indeed.

The "doesn't care about anything anymore" thing means that death doesn't effect them, you know. For a soldier, that's a highly sought-after trait.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

The way she charged those gobelins, yes, death doesn't affect her.
In fact she cares so little about dying that I thought she was done for :p.

Btw, I gave her full golden bedroom/dinner room/study/tomb for her feat and that pissed off the duchess so much that she tantrumed.

And after she killed some innocent guy that was just dining there...NOTHING HAPPENED!
I thought the captain of the guard was going to arrest her but no, nothing o.O.

Do I have to do justice myself?

Most nobles are exempt from justice, so you may need to resort to ‼JUSTICE‼, if you know what I mean.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.
