[PDF urist master]

just atom smash him and problem solved.

[Aristion]

Just convicted a vampire in my fort for 4 murders of my dwarfs. Punishment: 200 hammer strikes. He put into his cell and is immediatly freed by the same guy who tied him up. No punishment for him it seems.

He was hammered. Just that being undead the blunt attacks were like a blow from a feather duster.

You completely misunderstood what I said. I said the vampire is chained and after that he is immediately unchained by the same guy who put him there. I never said he was hammered by my hammerer. One of my queens was vampire and was hammered to death.

Discovering that you can set reserved barrels at the stockpile menu. For two years of playing DF I had just been making vast quantities of barrels in hopes that my brewer would be able to grab one or two before my haulers filled them with food.

.....You can do that? Well, learn something new every day.


Building a canal into your fortress and trying to seal it up with a cave in instead of just installing a floodgate. I tried that once while trying to make an indoor well. It just killed more beards. Stupid, silly, noobie me.

I know this Kind of moment in general! And this special moment in detail, because exact this happens to me too.

The good with it is, that one enjoys his newfound gaming experience like a feature or a patch, instead of dooming himself for doing it laborious in the past.

Just had a Forgotten Beast invasion from the depths. A skinless crocodile, ondulating regularly. Beware it's deadly blood!

I lost 2 inexperienced soldiers to that bastard, and crippled 4. Croc got killed by the least experienced, lucky strike with a pike.

BUT!...

My favourite militia dorf, Kubuk, was laying on the cavern floor, heavy bleeding and pale.

Urist, one of my threshers, ran to recover him.
He was too late.

BUT!...

I used dfhack, deathcause on Kubuk.

Struck down by Urist, thresher.
I check Urist's kills, there's Kubuk.

No crimes reported in justice screen.

What happened? Any guesses?

[danmanthedog]

Hmm I would say that when he saw the poor shape of im he decided to put him out of his misser. (Bad spelling because on a proxy.)

Your dwarves can use pikes?

[Ragnarock]

Just barely

[Magistrum]

Just barely

Aww...

My fort lacks Dwarves of Steel, I've got 14 almost-peasant spear/pike/macedwarves and two sword elites with legendary +2 fighter and sword, in full bloodsteel armor. They usually kill everything that's small, but against anything that has a thick fat/skin layer they're completely useless.

My master swordsdwarf fend off a roc with ease(well, minus one foot, but that almost don't count), I don't see many problems with swardsdwarves against big enemies...
I thought that pikes couldn't be wield by dwarves at all.
Don't maces do edge damage?

[Ragnarock]

Rocs are childplay. Try Forgotten Beasts.
Maces are blunt as far as I know.

Maybe you're right about the pikes... would explain why a few of my militiamen are professional wrestlers...
Actually...
Let me check.


update: Dorfs can't use pikes. Learned the hard way. Always wondered why would they bash enemies with their shields only... 

[Magistrum]

lol. just lol.

Just realized that the king in my world is a dwarf necromancer who ascended to kingship in the year 1. It's now year 629. What are the chances he's still alive? Not sure how to check that out.

Also, if my baron died and I reverted from a barony, what do I need to do to get it back? This world is the first where I've actually HAD a baron, and I'm looking to get to have the king (even if he is a necromancer...haven't faced any of those yet as I haven't tried evil embarks yet).
