I want to hear about/ see pictures of the best wounds your dwarfs have lived through. Like no eyes or lost legs.

[Zenatrul]

Arrow through the head, it badly gashed the ear, poked out both the eyes, cut the neck and also cut the nose.

After that arrow I cut off the archers right hand, then both his legs, then cleaved him down the middle if I remember correctly.

It was awesome, but I was blind and had an arrow stuck in.
Shortly after that I took an arrow to the chest and it pierced the heart and both lungs and died before I could kill that archer.

 Both hands mangled. Now if I had that adventurer travel it would heal, but I choose not to. I instead started to bite the goblin fortress to death.

 Thats BETTER than an axe.

 I hear if this happens to the Hammerer, your fortress turns into a very unhappy place indeed.

No idea what my 'best' wounds would be...but when I saw this I instantly thought of an old video I saw in the archive: http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-24

[Luckymoose]

Yeah I was referring to fortress mode exclusively. I have a pig with only one eye and it passes out regularly at my current fort.

[Awayfarer]

Hmmm, best wounds eh? I once had a metalsmith with a broken leg go into a fey mood. 85% of the materials she gathered were at the bottom of my fortress, 5z levels down and halfway across the map from the forge. Hoo-boy did that take a while.

Best wound I ever heard of was a bugged crocodile somebody bought from the elves. Every single organ and limb was missing. EVERY ONE. I picture it as sort of a crocodile shaped hole in the universe.

[Luckymoose]

I just noticed something odd, or maybe it's a feature. Two of my sparring wrestlers have minor neck and brain wounds and are both unhappy. Could this be caused by the wounds?



My fortress mascot.

Not a spectacular wound, but the way it happened was awesome.  I tried the Primative Dwarf challenge, seven peasents with no supplies.  Everyone went to the river to drink, since apparently dwarves would rather risk life and limb than guzzle water from a stagnant pond.

Before long the inevitable happened and a brave dwarf was attacked by a sea lamprey.  It latched onto his face, drug him into the water, and sucked his left eye out of his head.  Mister Badass then wrestled the lamprey to death in the river (I made everyone swimmers at embark for just this occasion) and climbed out.  Idiot was on the wrong bank though, and had to start a new colony of one.


Also had a legendary miner go all Wile E Coyote on me and cut loose the ledge he was on, sending himself 5-levels down.  He broke all four limbs and his head.

[Luckymoose]

Just trapped a fish cleaner and her baby in a room with 2 goblins with weapons and the mother ripped them into pieces before I used spike floor traps to kill her. I have never seen a single dwarf take 17 spikings before suffocating.

How do you even start then?  No pick means you can't dig anything

[bigmcstrongmuscle]

Plant Gathering or barehanded Hunting and drinking water, pretty much. You could get a decent start with just an axe, but it takes a long time - like five trees before you have a 1x1 bedroom, and eight more before you can give it walls.

That's the whole point.  Build a surviving settlement on the ground under the stars with nothing but two pack animals and the three logs from the wagon (just enough to build a trade depot, another bit of excellent Toad thinking).  Then you hope either the traders show up with a pick you can afford, or for some reason only Armok knows some migrants arrive with a miner.

[Naze]

Well I decided to take my legendary swordsman and attack an elven retreat, only to be hit in the head with an arrow and this is what the log said.

The flying Maple arrow strikes You in the head!
It is badly pierced!
Your right eye has been poked out!
Your right ear has been pierced!
Your throat has been poked out!

That arrow would of had to of entered from an odd angle. I managed to make it out of there and back to the goblin fortress and die before the family of a goblin drunk I had taken with me...He too did not live...Strangled by the druid. They were all massed together in a horde and I killed 37 out of around 50.

Yeah... doesn't he start biting chunks out of dwarves and walk around with the chunks in his mouth indefinitely?

[Doppel]

That archer gotta be one of the funniest DF things i've seen till now. Thanks for the awesome link.
