Queen has gone stark raving mad!
« on: November 21, 2008, 08:20:40 pm »

For the first time in all the long hours of playing dwarf fortress I finally get a queen. I have dug out the HFS over 12 times before and this is the first time I received a royal figure. Only problem was that my fort had a population of 26 and I hadn't even trained up an engraver yet. So naturally the Royal bedrooms, tomb, dinning and study rooms were not completed. As a result of this my Queen went insane for being in such a crap place.



Will this have a negative affect on my game world? Or does the queen not even matter?

Doesn't matter.  However, you will not receive another king or queen, unlike all other nobles.

Also, you can manufacture vomit at a smelter.  Subsequently removing the smelter spews vomit over a surprising area.

Give dwarves [NODRINK], [NOEAT], [NOBREATH], and then start a story fort where your people are ruled by insane royalty.  I'd love to see that Queen's mandates.

Just so I remember

More like:  "I mandate the carving of thirteen pig iron Fluffy Wamblers!"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Considering I just finished a week's worth of programming a veritable Charlie Foxtrot of recurvive, looping and triple-morphing code, I am now scared for my life.   :(

If you don't stop her now, she'll fill your fortress with impossible mandates. Smite that fat-bottomed girl like dynamite with a laser beam.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

And (because of various programming quirks) dwarves are kinda stupid. Granted, so are the other races. But still.
And yet these stupid dwarves are going to eventually make a nuclear weapon out of cheese and basalt.

I know! It's such a strange feeling for me to both get it AND realize it has nothing to do with dwarf fortress!
