I never kill my elves. I don't seize their trade goods, either. And while I do use magma to solve the problem of fuel shortages, it rarely gets applied to anything more interesting.

The booze stays, though.

--Insert cliche DF joke here--

BTW, where did you get the comic from?

I think he might have gotten it from 4chan, probably in classic games.

It's just a guess based on the nature of the name of the file.

I use the elves to dispose of my overflowing stockpile of rock goods.

It's sort of disappointing how none of the legends of dangerous creatures are true.

Carp? I don't recall ever losing a dwarf to one.

Elephants? I've had peasants take them down single handed.

Unicorns? Easily than elephants.

People see things like Boatmurdered and all these awesome drawings of dwarves getting eaten by carp, and they find the myths so entertaining that they pretend that they're true.

We need to get Toady to unemasculate wildlife. There are like, 10 types of dangerous animal in the game.

to be more precise, i probably got it from someone who got it from 4chan, it was posted in a clan forum on some other game along with a few others (found the thread, no sources though) :P

you have clearly never seen the hippos....

I once had a fortress near a large river, with hippos on land. I got an immigrant ranger so I drafted him to shoot some carp. A carp BIT HIS ARM OFF and he was laying uncounsious in the gras (lucky guy if he wasn't eaten by hippos a few moment later....

The problem with hippos is that they breed like rabbits, I started with 1 page of hippos, and ended with 5, before unleashing the legendary militairy to scourge all hippos. Though it came to late for 30 other dwarfes.

The legends of dangerous creatures ARE quite true. However, it helps immensely if you're an uninitiated DF player and you run into, for instance, a huge horde of elephants without understanding the mechanics first.

If you already know how to train up an elite military, then no, nothing is really going to touch you.

(By the way, Qloos's avatar is a 'Celestial' goldfish - a kind of goldfish that was selectively bred in Japan for ~600 years to get that way. One thing I will never understand about people who breed dogs, cats, and other animals in order to bring out 'desirable' traits is that they always seem to favor the traits that make the ugliest animals possible...)
