Elf You Count!
« on: March 26, 2010, 04:19:23 pm »

ignoring the fact that i get a message that my fortress and its surrounding lands have been made a barony (not a county as is proper for a count), I just got my first: Tax collector, Countess, Contess consort, Hammerer and dungeon master; all at once.

Yay...

So i decide to actually keep them alive to give me a reason to keep playing (where is zinc when you need it... stupid brass lovers) but when my dwarfs engraved his bedroom i got masterwork engraving along the following lines.

this is a ... of an elf and an elf. The elf is eating the elf. blah blah blah

Which i promptly sat my keyboard down and proceded to laugh for a good half hour then i look at her dining room. Appearntly i had a history buff for an engraver becuase he made tons of images of elfs eating dwarfs, dwarfs being struck down by carp; a local lion (which i caught and i think i'll put the cage in her room); bears; ect, dwarf starving to death, dwarfs dehydrationg...

I guess my dwarfs don't like nobility

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

Can you blame them? Nobles are probably the only people responsible for inflicting as much death, pain and misery on them as you players. And they can't exactly climb out of a USB port in the dead of night and murder you in your bed.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

On the corpse is an engraving of dwarves. The dwarves are vengeful.

Hey, I'm cool with you tying a dog up and shooting it with a ballista if you're short on elves, but there's not need to lie about it to us.
