Outpost Kosh Kun, "The Slaughter of Cats"
« on: January 20, 2008, 06:43:00 am »

The Fortress' prime purpose is the export of fine exotic specialty meats and meals to the surrounding dwarven and human empires. I'll post more screenshots as the game unfolds..

your fortress will be filled with miasma if you dont pit those cats

you will have a great military though hundreds of cat bone bolts will pepper the goblins when they arrive to steal you cat's

Ah, yes. Pit is good. Bonus points if you can slaughter half your pitted kitties without sending a dwarf down there to be befriended. If it will work, I recommend a series of bridges, four or more on the first level, one large one on the z-level after that, then a horrible fall. Question: Do cats always land on their feet?

However, a few tethered _male_ cats (don't want any free-range kittens) make decent watch animals. You'll have so many after all. They won't kill anything, but they'll be in such huge numbers you can afford to tether them everywhere for kobold thief detection. Kobold thief killing is of course better, but savage beasts are a little harder to come by.

I'm sure that a cat could kill a kobold thief. There's probably vermin that can kill kobold thieves.

Now that I think about it... I never seen a cat kill a kobold thief, but I have seen a kobold thief run away as soon as it was spotted by my advance kittens.

In 2d, I had a kitten take out the fire imp that had killed its master.

Wow, that, that is the most horrible thing I've ever seen. And I mean I am a bastard- really. I eat meat- lots of it, I relish the slaughtering of kittens in my own fortresses and hell can even accept it in the real world but I guess, just, wow. Like- why?

Bonsai Kittens = fake.

When that website first did it's rounds on the internet, it went so far as to make it to Goodmorning America, which debunked the website.

Ok... Now I get it. I had to read the Skaggs one, first I guess. But honestly I have seen crazier crap than that before.
