A Good Omen?
« on: March 26, 2012, 10:14:47 am »
Okay so i was playing in my new world and im trying to do an all cavern fortress.

My first artifact was a Fungi crown with an engraving of a elven retreat in topaz.....

I believe Armok is saying the elves will not breach this fortress!

If Toady implements it, we can kill elves with it.

I believe he is saying that elves shall dwell in your caverns and feast upon your plump helmets. Leave nothing for them - salt the fields and burn everything that you cannot use to spill their blood!

'elven retreat' doesn't mean 'a bunch of elves running away'.  'elven retreat' is what (currently non-existent) elven tree cities are called.  Which is actually kind of appropriate.

I was actually thinking..... maybe it means my fortress shall lead the dwarfs to the inevitable defeat of the elves...... But then again this is a thought.

EDIT* Oh and I thought that to. but my elf hating mind turned it into something against the elves.....
