Quote from: Toady One
Now that the livestock aren't getting weapons any more...

Who else saw this and was disappointed from the lack of stories to go with it?  Or disappointed about the missed chance for weaponization?

If Toady gave us the complete story of every awesome bug he found, fiction writers the world over would be out of work and television would bow before Zod Armok.

Maybe if a site was invaded all the civilians would grab weapons, but toady had set it to be that members of that civ and that included animals?

I now have an image of a sheep with an axe lashed to its head charging at an invader :o .

I love how matter-of-fact he was about it. Like, "Yeah, had a little trouble with axe-wielding sheep. You know how it is."

Yep, I think that may be my favorite part of the devlogs, the deadpan way he announces what bugs he fixed.
