[Flying Carcass]

I feel.. Odd..

So I've been killing every single immigrant who comes to my fort who doesn't fit certain criteria - namely, at this point, I'd accept an accomplished/high master Surgeon -AND- Bone setter, or any weaponsmith (for their moods..after which, they die).

Yet I just had a child come.  I can't reasonably kill the child without an elaborate deal, but everyone else who came I killed instantly via atom-smasher.  Then the child was miserable - as both his parents, who were apparently everyone he knew in the world, were just crushed into oblivion.  The child went berserk, and had to be put down..

I don't know.. it gives me this strange feeling inside..  Like..  Hrm.. Can't place my finger on it.

Oh - *snap*  I remember.  I have one less drain on my resources.  Happiness!

Sometimes I wonder if this game is churning out would-be totalitarian dictators...

I think it more or less keeps them safely occupied, rather than creating them.

I prefer to imagine that he's replaced his left hand with a forging hammer.

What could be dwarfier?

Have you read the early Drizzt books anytime soon?  A deep gnome does just this.  The other hand, replaced at the same time, is a pick.

I prefer to imagine that he's replaced his left hand with a forging hammer.

What could be dwarfier?

Replacing it with an anvil and holding the hammer in his teeth/beard/nostril.

No, a *real* dwarf would replace his hand with a bottle of booze.

Which he'd promptly drink, probably before finishing attaching it. But he'd like the experience so much he'd just cut off his *other* hand, and do the same thing.

I was thinking this very same thing when I read that line.

I haven't read it, no

If I was to get a legendary weaponsmith and an artifact weapon, I would be very happy.

I'm swimming in artifact iron figurines and perfect gems.

Well..  I cheat a bit.  I do some serious save/reloads depending on if certain dwarves hit moods, and I tend to slaughter immigrants who aren't weapon smiths.  And by 'tend' to, I mean always.  Rare exceptions, based upon need.  In fact, so many are killed that I recently got this :



Of course, the maker of this artifact was introduced to the very same bridge afterward.  Possessed little brat.

"In other news a controversial new game called Dwarf Fortifications is responsible for everything wrong with the country.  The game features detailed 3d graphical depictions of murder and violence, and forces players to execute their own citizens and pets by gradually slowing the game to a crawl until the player murders them with one of several sadistic execution methods, including underground lava pits and collapsing bridges on top of them.  Sources from the World Wide Interweb report that the game is disturbingly popular among prisoners and clearly it inspires crime and violence among our youth.  More at 11!"
   
Also, I'm jealous, most of my artifacts just have pictures of suns or plants on them.  Bunch of lazy hippie elf sympathizers 

[Shardok]

Dekon, you know that possessed guy could still make another artifact as I recall. At least he could back in 40d, not sure if it still allows possessed dwarves to get a second mood in latest version.

The sad thing is this is exactly how the media would report it, except they would probably include rape and <moral panic of the day> as things that you could do in the game.

[Rastaan]

Not to mention alcohol dependency.
