The Adventures of Urist McStrategist
"The Goblins are all riding cowardly creatures. I should take advantage of this and scare them into traps or off the map. No use in running around for weeks!"
"The Goblins are all riding aggressive creatures. We have dozens of tamed cavern creatures, maybe we should ride them bravely into battle instead of running right at giant creatures with goblins on top."
"I am about to take on 8 goblins by myself, but I am an elite swordsdwarf. But even still, I probably shouldn't expose my back to 6 of them by charging the one at the very back of the group first."
"I have a cut on my hand, but I'll live. I should keep fighting so that my comrades don't all fall in battle"
"I have been given a kill command. There he is over there. I should run straight to him, instead of where he was when I was ordered to kill him. I mean, that would just be silly"
"I should probably wear full armour.... Especially a helmet. Don't want my skull bashed in!"
"I have been told to wear leather armour due to lack of access to metal, but we DO have a copper shield at hand. I should probably use that, as opposed to nothing."
"I have been stationed here at the fort's only entrance due to there being a necromancer around. I should make sure I have the KEENEST OF SENSES. That way, when we stand 3 tiles apart, the necromancer won't be able to sneak through."
"I am the most heavily armoured, best trained, and strongest dwarf in the fortress and a large beast has been spotted. I should probably help the 15 recruit dwarves about to take it on. I'll leave this drink/sleep/hauling/randomly being a dick/eating until afterwards. After all, if I die, I won't need it anyway."
