Umm... how would you explain this?
« on: December 13, 2009, 01:55:45 am »



Could the Carp have finally have gained sentience and begun amassing their forces to attack my fortress? They have been there for years now in the game, doing nothing but being a possible deathtrap for anyone who goes near there. It's a good thing they don't walk on land, or I would have issues. All my catapults are on the other side of the fortress; I wouldn't stand a chance in hell.

Oh, and uhhh... I didn't lose a single Dorf to the Carp yet. Maybe they're pissed about that, or the occasional wolf I've tossed into the drink spraying blood from his severed stumps.

It looks as though they're all stuck in midair, though as to why, I have no idea.  Don't they get stuck by saving while being in midair?

What? They're underwater, that's the reason for the blue tiles.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

What about the one that doesn't have a blue background, then?

Not a carp?

Some of the deadly fish of death don't have the background.

The ones with the blue background are making use of their [UNDERSWIM] tag; they're under the water. The other ones without it are near the surface.

That was a perch.

They're still around. I'm thinking of trying the floodgate idea up to the goblin capturing part. They just haven't been around.

The problem with connecting the pool to the river is that any dwarf attempting to breach the channel there will be right next to the carp. The miner, if nobody else.
