So I just found out, that you CAN actually fly in adventure mode, despite what the wiki says. Or what a person said the wiki says, I couldn't find the article.

Hmmm, I've always known that.  Preeeethy sweet.


EDIT:  Too bad flying is way too powerful against melee fighters.   ;D

Except against wrestlers, who will throw you down the nearest chasm.

Only way I get to fly is by getting smacked by a Hammer Lord.

I like your way better.

I dunno if elves would feel guilt.  Their battle plan seems to involve marching single file into the enemy.

They do this if their food supplies are low.

Elf Warrior cancels Attack: Eat.

[On-Topic:] I just love going through the Legends mode and looking at all the events. Recently, I discovered an Elven civil war that involved Elves killing - and devouring - each other. My dwarves made quite a few engravings that had pictures of elves tearing out each others' eyes and stuff.

A martial trance stops drowning. I was adventuring away, when I suddenly get ambushed by a pack of wolves. I could easily handle them, where it not for an unfortunately placed pond. I dodged in and immediately started drowning. I knew I was a goner and tried to kill as many wolves as I could. Suddenly, my dear Ónul gets a martial trance and stops drowning.

I was just slaughtering some hippos, and revelling in the blood stream clouding the river, when I saw a bunch of carp drown in the bloody water. I never knew that hippo blood caused fish to drown, so I'm pretty impressed. It's probably just a bug and they drowned for some other reason, though.

Damn. how do I post up screenshots? I just found a centaur (modded race).

The Centaur Farmer Emtha Lipinique stands before you.
Emtha Lipinique, Centaur Farmer: I am Emtha Packedpool!
Emtha Lipinique, Centaur Farmer: Death of Kin Atticdyes, who played with her mini-forge long into adulthood!
Emtha Lipinique, Centaur Farmer: Prepare to die!

Played with her miniforge long into adulthood? When did they start saying that!? I've played a lot of adventurer mode and killed a lot of people and never got that!

EDIT:

AND AGAIN! The same centaur (he killed my first adventurer to his village) this time he killed the same person but said "whose womanly death screams aroused my thirst for blood!"

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

A centaur farmer?  What, does it draw its own plough?  :P

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

Apparently, flies have no difficulty flying (swimming?) under magma if there is a body there. Just fond that out when a miner got pulled under the lava by a fire imp. The miner proceeded to kill the imp, then die. The fire imp corpse stayed around and flies started buzzing(swimming?) around it. Flies are awesome.

This needs to be sigged.

Making screenshots: Press PrtSc (or alt+PrtSc for only the active window, saving you cropping), paste in paint or something similar, save, upload to your favourite upload service (imageshack, tinypic, etc), put on forums.

For that viciously bad pun, I'm gonna introduce a NPC named Vlynndar just so that I can kill him of in a cruel and unusual way.
Watermelons are pretty important.

even the degrading globs of molten stone you are dumping in there will spawn flies.
