against elves, axes are generaly faster.

when youve got a 100 strong army to butcher, you dont want to get bogged down breaking knee caps when you could just slice their legs off and let them bleed to death wile you went after the next one.

Hmm, if only this was in the 2010 mode, then it could be updated for the next release. Zombie cryptbrain anyone?

Bronze Orbs? Tholtig clearly had orbs of brass.

Truely, utterly amazing. I can't help but wonder what other incredible stories are hidden away behind DF's fiddly UI, the fact that it can generate such an epic is telling of the game's future.

Necro

Think we could make a history entry for her? so our dwarves pay homage by carving engravings of her and her struggle?

nvm...holy shit.  So...the elves they where waring with...where they completely killed off or...did the elves "win" the war due to Tholtig's old age?

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.
the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.

They technicaly won the war with the dwarves, but because they spent so many lifes on Tholtig and her kins axes, the civ got scatterd and decimated by the other civs -humans and goblins-

I know this is a necro post but if you still had a copy of the save couldn't you just copy the raw folder from save to the main replace that and boom regen the world with the same raws that made it?

DK advisor quote was the message thingy of DF with: "Uric Glodson does a wonderful impression of the baron, he can even do the nose. He has been sentenced to 40 hammerstrikes for his insolence."

Using the same seed and factors does not seem to reproduce the world. In all my attempts, I managed to seed the starting civilizations correctly, but history did not play out the same way it did for Tholtig; I think in the current worlds she is never born.

That said, you are free to try with the save. I believe you can find the link to it in this thread or via google.

It's nice to go back and reread old classics every once in awhile. I still revel in the glory of Tholtig, may her name never be forgotten.
