Ambushed by horse. What?
« on: March 08, 2010, 05:30:19 pm »
I have just been ambushed. The announcement took me to a farmer and a horse. I wonder "Where's the invaders?" so I check my unit list. Turns out the horse is the invader. The only invader. I'M BEING INVADED BY A HORSE. I could be at war with the elves, not at war with the humans, and goblins are still existing as a species. So who could be sending this horse to fight me?


EDIT: Nevermind, turns out he was a scout for elves. A sword elf, wrestlers and bow elves. This will be fun. Time to kill the bastards!

that'll be the elves. sometimes they apper mounted, and of course the mounts become ambushing as well.

because that's not the dwarven way. Could you make more statues of Urist instead of an impossibly large one chiseled out of the mountain? Sure, you could. If you want to be called a ninny elf by all your friends.

Yeah I know that now. But my military slaughtered them, so it's all good.

... That's pretty amusing, nevertheless that the alarm sounded that you were being ambushed by a horse.

Perhaps next time, they shall divert your soldiers away from their cunning strike with their clever war chipmunks.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

The farmer must've thought the horse took the elf hostage, because elves are not considered even remotely capable of warfare.

If war horses could type, you'd be flamed to hell and back.

No disrespect to horses. I understand saying something is better than elves is not necessarily much of a compliment, but I have no doubt in the horses' martial prowess.

Unlucky, you can get Elves riding Unicorns when they come to ambush if you're really lucky. All that lovely Unicorn leather, meat, bones & fat you missed out on.

Quoted because it's so true.

I bursted out laughing so hard at this that my dog woke up, came in the room, and looked at me like I'm an idiot.

Then proceeded to brag about how he has 27 kills on his kill list and is super-doggenly tough.

Though why a unicorn would choose to ally with the elves is beyond me. It's not like the elves will be able to support them in combat. Unicorns may be strong, but geez, elves? With how powerful they are, they could've had much better than elves.

Yup, had this happen to me as well. Except I got two whole squads of horses and three squads of mounted elves afterwards.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What was even more weird, was the elven squads walked right non top of a lone fisher dwarf and left him alone.

Clearly they realized that no matter how many wooden toys they call weapon they may bring, they simply cannot match one who has to face carp for a living.
