were they fighting with weapons or just punching each other?
The latter is a "brawl" and using weapons escalates it to "Lethal". WHich is probbabbly why they killed you.

No, they were in a lethal conflict - they were hacking each other with weapons.

What the hell, just a few weeks ago I made a DF creature partially based off of the joy mutants.

To be entirely fair, a ton of Dwarves are like Brad Armstrong. Short (mind you Shortness runs in the Armstrong family) Bearded men who even after losing both arms will beat people to death via biting and charging if they so desire.
EDIT:I killed a water based Kestrel titan, now a legendary hero.

Heh, true.

I need to find a way to make an effective non-OP mutation thingy with custom plants. I already have several types of plants including a joy plant that each turns people into a different caste of mutant. Wish you could make it pick a random caste instead, wouldn't need to make 6 different plants for each caste.

Now considered a Legendary Hero/Hunter, currently exploring the world with my adventurer.

[Uzu Bash]

Found the actual capital, bigger and laggier than ever. Meeting the law-giver didn't make it worthwhile to stay past delivering the obligatory story of my legendariness, which was delayed only by interloping kobolds. I wasn't pleased with the taverns' contents, though there were a few new drinks. So I'm off on a hamlet tour, composing new dance/music/poems in each one and clearing bandits where they appear. I've given away a total of 5 meadhalls, one to Hammerlady and one to Whipchic, but the Poet won't accept one and I don't want one, so the rest went to random hearthfolk.

Maybe by the time I'm through with this tour, some good prospective recruits will visit the capital.

[Nep Nep]

So my axeman and my Drunk died and I mourned the Drunk's death since he has been there since the start of my journey (for once sad over a companion dying, cause this adventure has been a long one as I explore the world and he's been there from the hillocks I started in)

[pikachu17]

I started out as a goblin in a dwarven fortress. what's up with that? anyway I recruited 4 dwarves to join me on adventures(did they change from 2 to 4 in 42.?) then I travelled to a random lair and until then I had never actually seen something in a lair before, so I was kinda unprepared to fight him.
fortunately my companions stabbed him into submission, and I got the last hit before he bled out! then I traveled to my home reecuited 10 more companions travelled to a human hamlet's castle thing. the lord seemed rascist toward goblin's so, I wiped the floor with him. hey, I just become lord of Killer of Beasts
operating from the Greatest Orb in hollowtax! I then took my companions to the nearby town of yawningtax(sister town?). I found a temple there, and since I had never been a night creature before, I quickly tipped over the nearest statue, and turned into a wereloris(I hadn't known I would transform at that time) in front of my 16 followers, since I didn't want to kill them, I hid in the catacombs until I un-transformed. and then went back to the Greatest Orb and found two of my previous companions, they must have went through a mild mind fog because they seemed to forget I was a wereloris. then my game crashed. I forgot to save that whole time. THE END.  anyone else think telling a vampire about his presence in the town, anger him?

RIP Birdie.

I often times give drunks shields and weapons from warehouses, so they survive a bit longer. Once did that with an entire army of drunks I recruited into my troupe.

Cheetahmen were bad since Action 52 came out, and I knew that one day they will bite me in the ass.

On my way to kill a night creature as tasked by my lord , we ran into a group of goblin at a bridge.
(i wish those ambushes were stealthy still like 34.11 , those super obvious * in the fast travel map defeat completely the surprise :/ )

from the gamelog :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While the gobs were all moving toward us, one of them was oddly polite

Goblin Pikeman (to Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman): Greetings.  My name is Nako Liedecay.
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman (to Goblin Pikeman): Hello, goblin.  I am Shosˆl Clubwanders.
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman (to Goblin Pikeman): Why are you traveling?

with no asnwer, and so sadly still no way in that game to figure out if this group is a result of the new multi-specie thing or if it's an actual gob faction, i decided to politely ask them

You: You must yield!
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman (to Goblin Pikeman): If you have a task, do it properly.
Goblin Swordsman: You first, coward!
The Goblin Swordsman strikes You in the neck with the pommel of his silver short sword, bruising the fat through the +bronze mail shirt+!

Damn gob, you started it, don't come and cry for what's coming next !
I should have ignored all that 42.05 hippy happy together gob propaganda cracks, a good gob is still a dead gob.

Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman: There's fighting!  That's alarming!
Goblin Swordsman: In the midst of conflict...  I am not scared!

Yeah, you're not scared, but that's only because that while i am full bronze armored (they had no iron or better)  i couldn't find a good sword in the nearby fort and had to keep my silver crappy one.

But fortunately, my party member is not too bad, despite the axeman has fallen to that gob fake friendly tone and didn't reacted

The Elf Spearman stabs The Goblin Swordsman in the left upper leg with his copper spear, tearing the muscle through the small troll fur cloak!
The Goblin Swordsman falls over.
Goblin Swordsman: In the midst of conflict...  I am not scared!
Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman: The battle rages...  I laugh in the face of death!

Good Elf, when i think there are people that hate them, the elf was the only one to see through the gobs propaganda and do what must be done !

The Goblin Swordsman stabs The Elf Spearman in the left lower leg with his silver short sword, tearing the muscle through the small donkey leather dress!
Many nerves have been severed!
You slash The Goblin Swordsman in the right foot from the side with your silver two-handed sword and the injured part is cloven asunder!
An artery has been opened by the attack, a ligament has been torn and a tendon has been torn!
The Elf Spearman falls over.
The Goblin Swordsman gives in to pain.
The Elf Spearman stabs The Goblin Swordsman in the head with his copper spear, tearing the muscle, fracturing the skull through the small white stork leather hood!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!
You slash The Goblin Swordsman in the head from the side with your silver two-handed sword, tearing apart the muscle and fracturing the skull through the small white stork leather hood!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!
The Goblin Swordsman strikes at The Elf Spearman but the shot is blocked!
Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman: How fragile we are...  Begone fear!
The Elf Spearman attacks The Goblin Swordsman but She jumps away!
The Goblin Swordsman stabs The Elf Spearman in the neck from behind with her silver scimitar, tearing apart the muscle through the small ostrich leather cloak!
A tendon in the upper spine has been torn!

Battle is ongoing apparently.
And suddenly my axeman party member finally react and run after another gob swordman that was more interested by going fast away from there, letting us deal with the remnant of the gob gang.

The Goblin Axeman hacks The Elf Spearman in the left upper arm with his copper great axe, tearing apart the muscle and bruising the bone through the small ostrich leather cloak!
A motor nerve has been severed and a tendon has been torn!
The Elf Spearman loses hold of the copper spear.
The Elf Spearman gives in to pain.

Ouch, that gob axeman jumped on my Elf pal while he was busy stabbing the swordman gob, that seem to have some change of heart.

Goblin Swordsman: I yield!  I yield!

Yeah, like i'll believe that damned gob filfth, let me explain you how much i buy into your propaganda

You stab The Goblin Swordsman in the head from the side with your silver two-handed sword and the injured part is cloven asunder!
An artery has been opened by the attack!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!
Goblin Swordsman has been struck down.

Goblin Axeman: Death...  This is truly horrifying.
Goblin Pikeman: I must withdraw!

Sure, tips for later gobs : don't try to murder a well equipped war party when trying to sell them your hippy happy fake peace.

My axeman friend come back a few time later , when the place was cleared

You: Hello Shosˆl.  I have nothing for you.
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman: Hello.  It is good to see you.  Let's not hurt anybody.
You: A few minutes ago I slew Ish Patternedpant and Smunstu Frightenvile.
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman: Ish Patternedpant was slain.  It was inevitable.
The Elf Spearman falls over.
Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman (to Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman): Hello Shosˆl.  I have nothing for you.
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman (to Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman): Just now a doe rabbit attacked me in The Comedic Plains.
Shosˆl Oglegon, Axeman (to Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman): You first, coward!

What the ...  , sigh.
That Elf was brave, nothing like that cowardly human axeman that let us deal with the actual danger, so let's ask him how he's feeling.

You: How are you feeling right now?
Goblin Pikeman: Our time in The Destined Universe is so brief...  I must not succumb to fear!
Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman: I've been injured badly.  This leaves me so shaken.
You: Goodbye.
Dothan Meckafit, Elf Spearman: Goodbye.
The Elf Spearman falls over.

Oh, still a gob alive but i see... well it was inevitable i guess, let's resume our task, there's still a night creature waiting in his lair.

The Elf Spearman falls over.

... That's going to be a long travel.

I can't believe you still don't know a mugger when you see one; this has been their behavior for many versions.

If you go to a town harassed by bandits and one approaches you politely, it's because he's stalling you while his buddies get into position around you. Human and elven bandits do the same thing, it's not just a goblin tactic. Hell, you could figure it out just by seeing a dot in the center of any hamlet!

[Nep Nep]

The finale of my latest adventure ended with my Werekoala biting an intense amount of people, making multiple Werekoalas in one night.

I know, it's been like this since df2014 and disapointed for a long time as it was simply broken and most of the time the bandits were failing to go hostile or even ask for your stuff.
I was just "roleplaying" along my character as i thought it was obvious from the tone i was using in the spoiler (asking "you must yield" as a greeting ) and the 42.x bandit new (working this time i mean) behaviour.

Now more seriously, how can you make the difference between the goblin swordman that is a bandit and the goblin swordman that is the faction-friendly one in the middle of the melee , because there was actually one (only figured out later in the fight when one of the goblin was not actually trying to fight us but was trying to fight the other gobs).

It reminds me of the similar situation i had in early df2014 when i started in an elven retreat that had a fight between bandit elves and faction elves, without a single method to know which ones were my faction and which ones were the bandits (as with df2014 bugged npc, none was hostile to me).

Since all that time, i wish Toady would have done something about this problem.

[Max™]

Yeah, when they aren't an ally, but don't know you they shouldn't show as lethal if your factions aren't at war or whatnot just because they are fighting lethally with someone else.

[Max™]

Incidentally I confirmed a weird marketplace zombie bug.



It's fascinating but the lag is atrocious and they come back every time you kill them... so that's a thing.
