QFT, first thing I ever do is dump the hammer and it's still not enough most times.

If we're talking about creatures though...I've gotta go with Skarp just on the basis that they're more prolific than Skeletal whales and Skragons...but still absolutely terrifying.

out of personal experience, where a dwarf was set alight by a magmaman, ran up 150 flights of stairs, and divebombed into the booze stockpile, I'd have to say fire is the same as always.

Skarp are worst for the come in pages, while whales come in groups of about 4, but the dragon is one and should not be considered hard.

If we're going to include modded creatures, skeletal crossbowwhales.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

If that's implying that a sheriff should nulify the fort destroying power of the hammerer, then mine certainly doesn't work that way. I have a sheriff and extensive fortress guard, I still get people sentenced to 8 hammer strikes from a crucible steel hammer for not making items that I simply cannot get the materials for.

The reverse. No sheriff means justice isn't tracked, near as I can tell.

Then again, I meet mandates, so take cum grano salis.

Nice Latin there.

As for why I play with a sheriff, I feel that if you remove all the challenges from the game you might as well remove the game, since it is the challenge that constitutes the game. The only exception I have is the glitch that allows you to stack rocks infinitely in one square, because I'm hugely OCD and need cleared hallways, and the stone stockpiles are insane.

As for the actual topic of the thread: I'd just like to throw in a tribute to Nist Akath...

They're even more fun if you're playing as cats.

There's a reason they're naked.
