Didn't expect it to happen so soon. Started my new fort, just building stuff and trying to find ores when I freaking minotaur shows up. It's only my second year and I don't know what he's doing here so early. Maybe it's cause I dug into the third cavern layer and found a candy pillar, so it increased my fortress value or something. My military is completely untrained and has no equipment (I couldn't even find metal on the map). I order the drawbridge to be raised, but several minutes later, I realize that I forgot to connect the bridge to the lever, reminded to me by the minotaur punching a child to death in my meeting hall (ironically, this happened right next to said lever. So, I ended up recruiting 15 unarmed, unarmored and untrained dorfs to go punch him to death. The damn minotaur kills three more and cripples some people before an engraver punches him in the head and kills him instantly.
So, yeah, that was quite fun, in both meanings of the word. I thought that was gonna be the first time I'm gonna get a 'your fort crumbled' ending (I usually abandon out of boredom), but the casualties were surprisingly low. Still doesn't change the fact that my fortress is completely military-less through. I guess I gotta rely on those caravans bringing me metal bars now.

Sounds like a good start to me.

Did you know you can engrave a memorial slab to a dead enemy?  Any dead, intelligent, named creature, or any tame animal not killed by butchering, can be slabbed.  Tigermen cannot be slabbed, unless one gets adopted, though they are intelligent.  Chicken pets can be slabbed, even though they're not.  Minotaurs can be always.  Sounds like a good way to commemorate the event!

Are minotaurs butcherable? His corpse is sitting in the refuse pile, so I'm guessing not, but maybe my butcher is being a dumbass again. It would be nice to have some minotaur roast to celebrate our victory.

Nah, minotaurs can learn and speak, so they're off limits for the dwarven kitchen.

Reminds me of a question I use to see how people think: "You kill a minotaur, and eat it. Cannibalism or beef?"

[Yoink]

Beef, duh. Just like elves eating dwarves, humans and goblins isn't cannibalism. Nasty, sure, but it doesn't count as cannibalism.

If you found a race of sentients, would you harvest their planet in the name of meat that tastes like chicken?

Well, of course this is bay12, so yes. But you get the idea.

So you are telling me that some local residents decided to go on a minor tour?

Good work MetalGear. Wish I could say your username without growling and exclaiming it. Remember to wash those wounds with soap, for ever and ever.

Am I also a minotaur?
