So, I starting playing this game again after a few months break. I downloaded the latest copy and start an adventurer to see the updated civs... or rather not to see them. I found out that every civ but humans is absent, (not even a dwarf, elf, or goblin I can steal the armor off of!) and that even human towns are almost impossible to find and lacking in any potential weapons upgrades whatsoever. I finally found a warlord to get a quest from, and went off the go kill a hydra with just a Large Copper Dagger. I actually did it, and discovered the new "butcher" feature. So I start a skull collection, and even try at one point to train my throwing skill high enough that I can throw them at people and kill them. I'm at 33 so far, counting 11 corpses I haven't butchered yet. But when I came back to the town (at least I think it was the right town, I tried following the quest promp but it led me nowhere) I didn't get even a "thank you", so I killed him for his insolence. It was at that point I discovered that nobody seemed to care -there wern't any guards, but the few humans who fought back seemed completely random. So I went around slaughtering more villages, or at least trying too. First off, I was crawling all this time. That's right,
Crawling. The only wound I got from the hyda was a bite in the foot, but that opened an artery and severed the motory and sensory nerves. They haven't healed in the year or two since then, (in-game, I was retired for about half of that time) and so I've named my adventurer "Achilles". "Achilles Deadfoot" I would be if I could modify my last name, with my bloody dagger "Lady McUrist" (sadly I couldn't name it in-game) that has tasted the blood of two hundred and thirty-four. I sadly was not able to get any skulls out of the humans, who actuall can regenerate without you traveling off the combat map. I tried burning them, I tried letting my hunger grow but never got to the point where I was allowed to butcher them (although I might have been if I played an elf). But the most shocking revelation was that humans have
NO ITEMS OF *ANY* KIND WHATSOEVER ON THEM!!!!! 
But I suppose there are worse things than a dozen nudists living in a small hut, there was that time I accidentally asigned my military "No Armor" and "Armor Replaces Clothes" at the same time.....
But I was getting tired of crawling around everywhere -then I remembered crutches. I embarked to a site near my retired adventurer, and what should I see when I arrive there (with the adventurer) but a deer leaving a trail of blood beside two dead dwarves, and a firsherdwarf with the crap being beaten out of him. At this point I was "ok, *NOW* this is getting to be too much dwarfiness, I got to write this on the forums!" And there you have it; I'll work on getting up a screenshot or two up maybe and then get revenge on "Shimmersplit" this bloodthirsty carp of a deer. (And carp officially are nerfed now, my foot injury was no handicap against beating them on their own turf.)
