Goblins
« on: April 14, 2009, 07:52:42 pm »

Yeah, i had the bright idea of taking them head on with my champion dwarves, y'know, had tons of traps, should they die, thats fine...The next thing that happened, seemed to be in slow motion. One champion got nailed dead in the face by the goblin axe lord ( i was shocked, he had full steel ) then, the champions pretty much did what they felt like doing, running around charging lone goblins, but i knew on the way was a squadron of marks goblins, and they don't take prisoners. Then, the damn PEOPLE are running OUTSIDE to grab the BONES!!! I forbidded drop picking, but appearently bones is something else ( great time to learn that now huh? ) So, 157 people, running in all directions, pfft, the goblins are going to have a field day. It will take a MIRACLE to save the people, ironically, my fort was fool proof in its defence, just a shame the fortress is run by fools...

PRAISE ARMOK, PRAISE HIM TO THE HIGHEST HE CAN BE PRAISED! among the idiots outdoor just so happened to be my elite millita, the goblins (trying to be clever) followed the peasents up the mountain...Whilst our marksmen fired downwards, they were being slaughtered from all sides, and the only casualty we got was the champion at the start, the mace lord and his squad of marksmen ran, ran to the hills, and he lost many men in his retreat. If lady luck exists, i want her babies. :D.

Y'know, before now, i never knew the TRUE definition of a dumb ass, now i know, dwarves fit that description like two jigsaw pieces going together, honestly, i'm amazed by the lack of intelligence, hell, some ran TOWARDS the marks goblins, dat be smrt thinkin der :(

I am offended by this. What makes you think her grace would honor you with her offspring? Give tribute and thanks for what she has already granted you and don't ask or even THINK that you want more!

Luck had nothing to do with, give her no due.

Dwarves create their own... method of bending the laws of chance and fate.

Its very similar to Gravity.

The denser the dwarf, the more likely he'll survive his stupidity...

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.

Yeah, i kinda thought that, massive lag spike as every single dwarf in my fortress went to gather BONES out of all things. Not the equipment, <<*Iron Great Axe*>>'S suck! NO, we want the BONES! Pfft, some people and their nutty ideas about "grabbing expensive goblin equipment". :D

The thing that confuses me about dorfs is this. Dorf 1 dies in an avalance or somesuch. Dorf 2 is friends with dorf 3 and dorf 1. Dorf 2 berserks because of his friends death and kills dorf 3. also a friend. W. T. F.

If you make something fool proof, someone will just make a better fool. Thats why God created Dwarves.

The problem was, i wasn't running the dwarves. The fact of the matter was, i could of been Einstein, the dwarves would STILL do something mind numbingly retarded. That was how they were made, like for example jumping in a magma pit to save a Pig Tail Sock...By the time i noticed the dwarves were outside, it was too late ( i told them to stay inside, they stood there going '?' like total idiots ) then they ran in the WRONG direction. I'm amazed that they are the most intelligent race when it comes to technology, armok knows they don't have common sense. :D
