My Civilization Symbol is WHAT???
« on: February 15, 2010, 02:45:22 pm »

I was looking at the engravings in my fortress when I discovered this:

Kadol Okosh "The Hatched of Vigor"

Engraved is a well-crafted Kadol Kordamlogen rendition of a superiorly designed image of a elf.  The image is the symbol of The Patterned Razor, a dwarven civilization.


I thought my dwarves might be going mad in the sun of the desert, but this??

You must abandon your fort, start a dwarven adventurer and purge all civ members from existence.

That might be hard - I have exactly 52 champions in this fort...

The champions won't be there if you abandon right now.

Worse, they'll be scattered all around the dwarven civ, waiting to gank any would-be adventurur - they're freakishly high level wrestlers (They train *very* fast when there's a bunch of them - lots of sparring partners?) and half of them are legendary shield users too...

Gather all of them in a single room, then drop ceiling/pour magma/water. Now.

Yep. Build Death Trap. Now.

But keep this fort going, so you can kill the king and and roughly 200 elf-loving non-dwarves all at once.

With Magma.

 Let's not jump to any extreme conclusions.  There's no description of the Elf in question that is this civ's symbol.  It could easily be an Elf that's being burned to death in magma, drowned in a trade depot trap, or mortally wounded by a steel crossbow bolt.  The lack of descriptors leaves this open for imagination, meaning this seemingly pansy Dwarven civilization could theoretically be the most awesome Dwarven civilization of all for making their symbol that of an Elf being painfully slaughtered.

Maybe the elf is Cacame.

It could just be an Elf with an X through it.  Making your dwarf civ officially a "No Elf Club".

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

But if it was an elf with something through it they still have to look at an elf all day (Well it depends on where the engraving is), destroy it, and the rest of them, for FUN.
