Wouldn't Stalin be a better fit, particularly considering dwarven socialism?

You're not committing genocide, there are plenty of other dwarves out there in the world, you're just committing a purge.

a purge for what? The dwarves didn't do anything wrong, maybe except if they worshipped elfs then that's a other case.

Hitler attempted genocide of specific kinds of people.

Stalin killed everyone. (In fact, I've been told Stalin managed to kill more people than Hitler overall.)

So, yeah, Stalin's a better comparison.

Hitler was insane. We're completely stable. Which makes it so much worse on a moral scale.

Quite so.

...Hm, I just realized that dwarves have beer, ale, rum, and wine, but no vodka.

That would explain the lack of screwdrivers.

Dwarven Vodka, you say? Of course it's there, Toady wouldn't forget about such an obvious thing.
We call it Sunshine, yet the way to grow it indoors has been long forgotten since a dragon killed the only mountainhome producing it. But the damn elves still make it.
Note to self: Load up adventure mode, find a way to flood a forest retreat with lava.

Also, in order to gain some fps, you pulled the lever. The lever that floods the fortress.

Glad I wasn't the only one to catch that. So, how're your FPS what with all the fluid dynamics, and the pathing through mountains of water?

Also, lack of magma is ruining this thread.

MAGMA or GTFO!

Man, dwarves are such a**holes!

Even automatic genocide would be a better approach

Actually, Tuber Beer would probably be a bit closer, assuming bloated tubers are similar to potatoes (from which Vodka is often made).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Well, actually a bit above the 20. Probably the dwarves not working anymore has something to do with it :D

Magma would ruin it, due to its slow movement. Water is quick and just as deadly.

They dead yet?
I stopped it to make a uploadable .7z file, but I can't upload it for some reason (My connection seems to falter). I'll upload it as soon as I can later this week. (*Growl* Stupid provider...)

I think dwarves fit the stereotypical russian almost too well: bearded, lazy alcoholics. Traditionally, vodka (Or, rather, the ethanol) was made from grains, especially wheat, but now it can be made from anything. Vodka made from potatoes is chiefly made in Poland. So, cave wheat would be the thing vodka would be made from, not bloated tubers, if you wanted to make it russian.

They're not already?


Actually, I consider dwarves to be a giant hybrid of Scottish/Irish/German/Russian.

Violent alcoholics that build awesome stuff and kill their own people.
