Overkill?
« on: January 08, 2009, 02:21:29 pm »
I jumped into a river to give some fish a taste of my axe, and this was the result:

I found it weird, because I always see one body-part-disintegrating-message when I land the final blow.

I stayed in the river, practicing the noble sport of throwing wolf bones at fish. Then, the snap freeze came and took me out, along with some 104 fish.
Losing is fun.

"The pike has been struck down" is a COLOSSAL understatement.

 The pike has been struck down so hard all spears in the nearby towns shattered with overkill.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

It's hard not to be weak when under attack from a talented axeman. That being said, I dared not engage the large school of fish, at least not directly. I just chased them, through bones in their general direction and finished off the fish that got hit and couldn't keep up.

They are.

The problem is that in Fortress mode Dwarves are so stupid that they go in to tackle fish and end up in the water... where they drown or get killed.

Their bite is powerful relative to a Dwarf's fist... However it isn't more powerful then any other bite in the game... even the Dwarves own (remember the Dwarf who bit someone's head off?)

One reason why i wish Tarn would make it so all of em start out learning how to swim. I mean, they're at least in their 20s at start, they should dang well know how to swim.

Dwarves can't swim, they've got too high of a bone density! if you let them swim youre reducing that, and that cuts out their damblock:1. ...unless you dont care about that sort of realistic balancing and just want to mod the raws <.<

Dwarven beards can gain a form of buoyancy based on the amount of water that passes through it, collecting particles of air and whatnot.
