Educated Ogres
« on: October 31, 2010, 12:12:52 am »
So I had a siege, three groups of goblins on jabberers, but I was also assaulted by these guys:

most were killed by my dwarves, they were pretty weak, but I captured some, if anyone wants me to experiment somehow.

See if the Fish Cleaner's experience with animals helps him any when suddenly surrounded by a swarm of carp or longnosed gar. Then see if the architect can spot a fatal design flaw, before it causes massive amounts of stone to cave in ontop of him. You know. So we can see if they have the ability to put their "intelligence" to use!

 You've witnessed a curious side-effect of races with the [CAN_LEARN] tag.  Every member of said species will get a random roll of abilities when generated.  This has led to some amusing bugs in Adventurer mode, where town inhabitants (those you can find, anyway) are nameless and only noted for their professions.  I had an adventurer with his "other kills" list showing 8 humans as victims, all of whom failed to even try to fight back.

Embarked on a haunted volcano. I am currently terrorized by skeletal alligators.

Why, my first siege big enough to arrive with monstrous regiments had a Troll Architect, Troll Trader and a Troll Fish Cleaner.
Now, to wait for a Troll Administrator.

Naturally, the Ogre Architecht came to admire Dwarven iginuity and prowess firsthand, before smashing it into dust.

Troll and Ogre Architects are crazed perfectionists intent on replacing every construction in the world by one of their own perverted design.
Troll Architects also tend to troll the builders of the thing they're smashing.
