Oh, carp!
« on: September 14, 2009, 04:58:27 pm »
Woot! My weaponsmith has just created an artifact iron crossbow!  ;D

Woot!  My two wrestlers have become champions!   ;D

<just a few minutes later>

Arrgg!  A kobold has sneaked into my barracks while my soldiers were getting a drink and stolen my artifact crossbow!    :o

<The champions quickly put on duty and sent them after the kobold>   >:(

Arrgg!  A carp has pulled one of the champions into the river!   :o

Arrgg!  The kobold has escaped with my artifact!   >:(

Arrgg!  My champion has drowned!   :'(

Engraved on the floor is a well-designed image of a kobold and a carp.  The kobold is making a plaintive gesture.  The carp is laughing.

You should have unleashed your "orbital magma cannon" upon him. I hear that every fortress is getting one now. ^_^

orbital magma cannons are overrated

seriously, do you know how hard it is to pump all that magma up a shaft to the 10th z level? screw that, do you know how long it takes to even construct the damn thing? :P

A goblin just killed one of my dwarves and then executed the two babies she was carrying.

The father is doing perfectly fine. He's happy because he became a father recently.

Pff. Constructing orbital cannons are so passé. What you need to do is cast it out of obsidian.

why not really test the limits of in game physics? Find a vein of Pitchblende (Aka Uranium) Make it into blocks. Make a small road (or floor) out of those blocks. Place some blocks on the floor/road. Build a drawbrigde out of it. Place the brawbridge so it will close on the road/floor, and pull the lever. With any luck, you'll hit critical mass and make a Dwarven Nuke!

To the dorf pulling the lever, the lever is just a lever. The magma pouring out of the mountainside is just a coincidence. To the dorf designing a pump stack from the magma sea, it is just that: a pump stack. No specific reason for it. It will never do anything.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

You know I've never seen a real-life barracks where they just have some beds and a big pile of weapons lying on the ground for anyone to walk up and take.  They usually have some kind of *cough* WALL around them, with *cough* GUARD DOGS near the entrance.

I had a tigerman get elected mayor and he promptly mandated 3 bowls of cereal.

Defense is overrated. The thing nowadays is annihilating anything that sets foot on the map... with magma.
