Armok sighting: confirmed for dragon?
« on: June 01, 2013, 08:33:21 pm »
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was going about a fort as normal, until I noticed a massive blood pool in the rough shape of a dragon.

Could this be Armok (praise be upon his bloodiness) manifesting himself as a dragon?

It would mean that once a year, all of your female cats suddenly explode if there are any male cats around.

So are you sure you're playing Dwarf Fortress and not some ASCII-verison of Dragon Age?  ;)

Speaking of blood, the tileset for those walls is making my eyes bleed.

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

Are you sure that isn't just sand?

Ubisoft making a DF based game... I'm not sure if that would be incredible or terrible.

Definitely not. An object on the ground--such as a crossbow bolt, vermin remains, or a dead kobold--will have a different color palette when the tile it is on is soaked in a contaminant... whether it be snow or blood. It's subtle, but you can tell that wasn't faked with a red sand painter.

Now, whether or not it was faked by flooding the map in blood and then spot cleaning to make the pattern emerge, I can't say. But it seems unlikely. Especially since the spotclean has no option to leave mud/snow, so there wouldn't be snow and blood both on the map if that's what he did.

Armok obviously marked out the specifications for your new dragon monument! How nice of him.
