How can a goblin rule so long..
« on: March 26, 2010, 10:52:12 pm »
Yet be so stupid?

The local goblin queen attacked my newest fortress with 4 other ambushing parties.  3 of the parties are shot to hell by the human caravan passing through.  Old Nako Stozuzur with 200 years of living and almost 200 years of ruling pops up literally a couple hundred feet from my barracks housing 16 champion wrestlers.  She was subsequently used as paint on my obsidian fortress walls.

Seriously, how can someone live so long yet be so utterly retarded?

imagine fighting someone on the street. You guys are going at it...all of the sudden, he hits you in the face with the tips of 5 fingers. What the fuck is he doing? You're confused, he school boys you, you're going to be lost. Match won.

Despite DF's many complexities (it has an entire system dedicated to eyelids) Toady has yet to implement logic and basic reasoning into the creatures.
