That is... only slightly creepy. Good job, I think.

Only slightly?

Methinks it would be terrifying to any non-believer. Since it's, y'know, a baby being thrown into fire.

"And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."

Just saying. ;)

Well, Abraham never did actually set Isaac on fire, but I do see your point.

O.O This is awesome. I want to do something like that... And now I picture the OP standing on a table preaching to the masses, while the other tribes just stare at him. Maybe if his words are powerful enough he could convert other tribes? lol

Also, I showed one of my friends this thread, and now he's chasing people screaming BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. On reflection, it might have been a bad idea...

Horses are the way to go but don't lag with other animals because things like Oxen can be quite helpful to. Once you have a good start on weapon making you need to have a group of warriors that are always out traveling as mercenary's. If the other groups use you instead of an actual army then when it comes time you will be able to completely obliterate them from either lack of actual combat experience or just a general lack of an army all together.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Akhier does have a sweet idea. If they are reliant on mercenaries from you, just the loss of them will be a big enough blow, but having them turn against your prey from the inside.. delicious.

So, last week a group with a fairly peaceful god sent a priest over to us to explain his religion.

get the results back this week, and guess what?


My tribe has fallen head-over-heels for armok, and while said priest found a few converts, most of the tribe believed he was evil, and he fled our village fearing for his life.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Beer. we'll have an army of drunken, fanatical, blood-loving warriors in no time.

So... You're turning the innocent history class project into Dwarf Fortress?
Oh how I wish my history classes were this interesting, but no, we have to do research papers and pages upon pages of notes.

we have another final projest besides this. We have bto tear apart the arguements of a guy who says aliens made the Nazca Lines, the Pyramids, and all the ancient wonders of the world.

Have i mentioned that our tests and exams are open book, in exchange for having less time to do them?

This IS a college class, btw
