[dAGNARUS]

I was just busy with a new fort, I was only in the first year, when I noticed the message "Urist McHerbalist has been struck down." Confused, I look for her corpse, and I find this.



The river was FULL of carp, about 30 of them.
I didn't even know a dwarf had this much body parts

[Urist Imiknorris]

Carp are truly gods among fish.

But the Giant Eagle is the true king of beasts.

It might not be anymore in the next version, rumor is that carp are now weak and elephants are regaining the old glory days they had back in the days of Boatmurdered. It hasn't been confirmed for sure yet.

The fact that carp are so deadly in the current version is common knowledge.

[Supercharazad]

Arn't all animal fish that powerful?

[Beanchubbs]

I try to trap as many carp as I can into water storage areas that surround my entrance. When invaders reach that entrance, I lock them in, and open the water storage doors.

Untrue! Mine attacked a peasant, who promptly mangled its right wing and walked away. Then it got killed by peasants. The only mildly serious wound we suffered was a broken hand.

[smjjames]

Meh, Giant Eagles generally leave my dwarves alone and stay in the sky.

In my current game around the time of my first ambush (or not long after, or maybe it was the first siege), a giant eagle was flitting around the entrance (divebombing the goblins maybe) and for some reason went into the entrance and got whacked by the first stonefall trap.

Giant Bats and Giant Cave Swallows, now those are nasty.

Just wait until Toady includes animals from Australia.

You think thats bad? I was minding my own business, setting up sea side pumps to flood a magma pipe so I didn't have to deal with the skeletal fire imps inside when suddenly, not 3 seconds after checking things and finding everything fine, my fortress crumbles to its end. 3 seconds to go from 15 healthy dwarves to 15 splattered corpses. I had to go back in legends mode to figure out what happened. Tuna happened. A school of tuna marched up on the beach and slaughtered my dwarves in an instant.

"Can this!"

[xdarkcodex]

Is it possible to put [can_civ] on the carp? That would be epic!

[o_O[WTFace]]

I think all fish are pretty bad but carp are big and there are tons of them.  And of course, you can kill carp with weapons but you can't kill the water they drag you into without magma.   

I have had some trouble with giant eagles too, but sooner or later someone breaks one of their wings and a peasant or two later the eagle problem is solved.

They're actually a fairly weak race in worldgen, and you have to change a lot of their stuff to make them able to work properly.

Too bad...
