Dwarven tanks?
« on: May 18, 2013, 05:29:03 pm »
This happened in a game without any armor modding:



But I wonder, would this be possible to achieve consistently by giving helmets [LBSTEP:MAX]? SCIENCE TIME

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.

I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

Looks like your commander is savvy enough to wear a codpiece.

strange, it really wasn't modded? Maybe its because flying people behaves a bit unpredictable...

If it's trying to attack your dwarf's lower body from above, I guess the helmet is in the way... along with the rest of his body.

The blood of our enemies is but a symbol.  The true domain of Armok is magma - mountain's blood.

Just to be perfectly clear, helmets have not been modded... I've fixed up bolts and arrows a bit and flexed my Armok powers to make lady dwarves grow beards. Haven't touched item_armor.txt at all, so helmets (and all other armor) are still vanilla.

Honestly, I'm surprised it even specified "lower body" instead of just "body part." Fall damage is so wonky I never know what to expect, and I certainly didn't expect my dwarf to turtle up into his helmet.

there was a REALLY old game called Battle chess which had the knight crammed into his helm by the golem/rook. I'll try to find a YouTube.

edit: here it is, round 5 min in

Though maybe that's the issue. The concept is just too simple for the dwarven mind to grasp!

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

That's... just nasty.

And probably very authentic.

Maybe the helm is covering his other head.  ZING

I entered this thread expecting real tanks firing upon hapless Elves. I instead recieved penis jokes.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

This is the Bay12 community, so that type of thing is not so common.  However it IS still the Internet, so please, do not forget the Eye Bleach in your Health and Safety precautions.
