I was reading through this thread again, and I noticed something. Moghoppers only appear in savage areas. Not sinister. Just wanted to correct that.

And bravo, yet again. I'm planning on capturing every megabeast in the world and pitting them against Morul all at once.

Just read this thread in one sitting. I cannot imagine the amount of labor and care you've put into Morul. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

I guess 'just' is something of a relative term, but I don't think I know anyone that considers nine months 'just.' Could lead to some weird conversations, eg. "We have a son? I just met you!"

Eight legendary skills is easy. Seventy one is not. I think you might be grossly underestimating the amount of time and effort Martin put in to Morul.

(editing rather than reposting since this is getting derailed enough as it is): In response to the below, you didn't really misuse 'just' so much as not really take in any of this thread. I didn't mean that you started this challenge nine months ago, I meant that Martin did. Note that this thread was created in April 2009. Note that it's got very nearly a thousand responses. What I was trying to say was that you were 'beaten' to undertaking this challenge by about 3/4 of a year and it took very nearly all of that time to accomplish, which is quite a big time investment. Sorry to be so over-defensive, but I don't want the huge amount of work Martin's done to be devalued.

There's a sizable region between "grammar nazi" and "communicating effectively" that you also appear to be not in.

I get that it takes a long time, but really now. It's not like he built a house with his bare hands. The dwarf does most of the work.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

Morul is either absorbing or dodging Ballista bolts.  (I don't think they're tipped though)

He's standing right in front of the thing and each one either passes through him (to no effect so far) or he goes around them as they fly. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This guy who was standing BEHIND Morul and apparently is Superdwarvingly Tough was hit by one and barely survived. (missing a hip and all connected to it.)


I'm picturing Morul doing that funky bullet-dodging thing Neo did in the first Matrix movie.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
