Eskimo-Dwarves. Your dwarves must live in huts made of ice blocks and hunt whales with spears. Oh Armok, that would be so badass if you could find a source of drink.

I have just spawned about 30 whales in the arena and let them kill each other. Then butchered the corpses.

The smallest meat stack from one whale was [147] (but it had [151] fat too), the biggest one was [1321] !

Whale meat roast [5000] anyone?

Hi!

Actually, that source of drink can be toggled in world gen - and I think you can reduce its probability to 0 or nearly 0 :) :) :)

Ice you say? Wouldn't the sea freeze over and there would be no whales to speak of?

Hypothetically speaking. Fridge logic.
Pun intended.

I know whats going to happen.

Some dwarf will go spear-fishing for whales.

he will fine an unusually pale whale who will slaughter a bunch od dwarfs and chew of that Dwarf's leg.

The wale will gain a Title "the Grinning Whale"

the dwarf will develop an obsession with the whale, chasing him all over the ocean with a crew of misfits from all over the kingdom

Urist McAhab: I grin at thee Thou Grinning Whale!

Sounds reasonable! The kind of thing that only happens in Dwarf Fortress and book that everybody knows but nobody has read...

Since boats are out of the question right now, we need to train a superdwarvenly-tough Speardwarf up to legendary swimmer so he can survive in ice-cold water.

Since this is already fantasy land, you might as well have Sky Wales!

And Sky Sharks!

On the subject of eskimo-dwarfs: I think the proper thing to do here is to build a GIANT igloo on the frozen ocean... Made FROM the frozen ocean. A giant hemispherical ice structure, under which lives the local dwarf civilization, who are undertaking a most dwarfen activity: Ice Fishing for whales.

Now if only we had diving bells. Menacing with spikes of iron.

How much modding would this take, one wonders?

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.
