I know for sure that creatures such as fish (and mermaids) can breath in 4/7 water. So you could possibly just send in hunting parties.

What would happen if you chained several eagles to a block and destroyed the supports? Could they fly away with it?

Eagle-powered airship.

That is all.
My god what have i done?
You made a kid's movie idea.

Urist and the Giant Stone

With his friends: Olin the Cat, Dasdot the Dog, Minkot the Giant Cave Spider, and many more, all affected by a mystical element (in this case, maybe pitchblende), along with Urist which gets a claymation texture to his skin along with a swelled head.  There is cheer, singing and dancing. Fun for the family.

Their next destination: THE YORKS OF NEW!!!

I'm not sure what I'll do with my eaglesphere, but it seems like the dwarfy thing to do.

Make it of the right materials...

Then add a sphere of glass, holding water and merpeople.

A sphere of obsidian containing fire imps and magma men.

A hollow sphere of rock, with your meeting hall in it (contains dwarves)

A sphere of IRON, contaning HFS?

It's ideas like this that make me love this God forsaken game.  All these people talking about the utter atrocity off trapping migrating merpeople and forcibly breeding them, because damn it all their internal organs are valuable.

In the mountainhomes, we call that industry.

I believe that adamantine is the traditional choice for capping HFS

Iron can contain the goblins.

Dear god, that... 'project' is both wrong and awesome at the same time.

I think of using only two water rooms, one with cage traps chains (mermaids are chainable, when captured, arent they?), water filled 4/7.
Second water room would be 1 z-level lower, linked with first through floor hatch. Also, two pumps there, one pumping water in, second pumping out (to airdrown the mermaid babies)

Does talking about harvesting the organs of babies that were born by mothers that we chained up to breed make us horrible people? Even if this is just a game, it is still kind of disturbing. I can't talk though because I've done this with unicorns.  :D

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

We're humans dwarves, it's normal that we butcher things just because we're curious.

Not completely on-topic but related: I recently mucked around in adventure mode as a modded-to-be-playable Titan. I was training up my swimming and sneak skills by swimming down the coast of a good ocean. Lo and behold, i came across two blue Ms, a merman and a mermaid frolicking in the waves.

So i snuck up on the merman, grabbed his head, slammed it into the seafloor and squeezed it until my wrestling skill went up a couple levels. Then, getting bored, i punched him in the gut (he didn't die) and went after the mermaid. I started to do the same thing to the mermaid, but after a while of squeezing her head i accidently hit the wrong button and pounded her head in. So i picked up the body and used it to pound the merman's head in.

Now i had two merpeople corpses. Knowing that merfolk bones were valuable and that shops wouldn't buy corpses, i set up a bonfire and then took the resulting bones to the nearby human town to sell. I figured i could make this a regular thing and hunt merfolk for profit. Unfoirtunately towns don't buy bones either... Now i wish i had saved the mermaid's corpse so i could continue to use it as a club.

Using the five elements of Air, Water, Fire, Wood, Metal

Air: A sphere made of crystal glass block floors and clear diamond gem windows, filled with nothing, containing giant eagles.
Water: A sphere made of clear glass block floors and sapphire gem windows, filled to the brim with water and containing mermaids.
Wood: A sphere made of wood block floors and emerald gem windows filled with wood block up-down stairs and containing elves.
Fire: A sphere made of bauxite block floors and ruby gem windows, filled to the brim with magma and containing fire imps.
Metal: A sphere made of steel block floors and black diamond gem windows, filled with steel block up-down stairs and containing goblins.

These are the five pillars upon which the temple of BLOOD stands, where the dwarves live and give live kitten and noble splatter sacrifices, the blood dripping eternally into the other five habitats.

And Urist using a heart; "Goooo Fortress!"

"By your powers combined, I AM CAPTAIN FORTRESS!!!"



...And this is how you summon Morul Cattenmat; AKA Captain Fortress.

I couldn't resist. :P

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?

You misspelled 'hilarious'

Sigged.

When i saved this to bloc notes, the save window was on my tabs folder. Judas Priest subfolder. Genocide tabs sub-sub-folder. I laughed my ass out XD

Now I've realised that until I have created a mermaid breeding and butchering industry, that involves baby merchildren getting flung into my butchering room by bridges activated by the movements of their own mothers, and are killed my bolts made of their forefathers bones, my time with this game will not be complete.

If you gave them a biome then the Elves may indeed start turning up with Wagons in cages.
Well, it does tie in to the fact that personality-wise, dragons are nothing more than gigantic, scaly, firebreathing cats.
