Things that prove that losing is fun
« on: December 01, 2007, 08:54:00 am »
I don't know what devil possessed me, but i settled out for a fort in a region without any water

surely if I brewed enough, no one would go dehydrated

how wrong I was

after a few years of intense brewing, my foodstockpiles were overflowing with booze
so I built more stokcpiles
and more
and more

until one day, I built a stockpile near to my magma smelters

right at that time, a fire imp decided it was a good idea to attack

in a giant chain explosion all (and I mean ALL) of my booze send a giant schockwave through my fortress, killing half of my population

the rest soon died of dehydration

post your stories of deaths that were just plain awesome

I think that is one of the best fortress deaths ever. Congratulations!

How far does booze-bomb splash-damage go? Will it blast through floors? Chain through stairs?

'cause my own beverage stockpiles are 10x10 rooms stacked atop each other - might be time to dig out a wine celler..

Yeah, that sounds kind of dangerous.  Maybe you should dig a booze bunker.

Makes me wonder...

If you stick a fuse in a Dwarven Booze barrel, what will happen?

Also, when caveins start working, those Booze Blasts better cause some!  :)

Booze explodes? That's awesome! Or.. wait, are you sure it didn't just boil off all at once, spreading a cloud of superheated steam throughout the fortress?

...You know what? That's still awesome.

I tried lighting some booze on fire by throwing it into a lava pit. The dwarves refused. They would not throw any alcohol into the magma vent. Or into any garbage dump.
So I put it into a pit then filled the pit with lava.
The game crashed.

Yep, booze goes boom.  Smoke and flames.

There's a video of the last sparks of a wine barrel going off, but I forget where it is.

Wow.  Talk about alcohol dependency.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur
