Fun with Engraving
« on: January 01, 2011, 05:02:47 pm »
What kind of fun and odd engravings do you have in your fortress?

In one of my Fortresses, an Ettin invaded.  He killed 4 of my dwarfs and was beating on a 5th before my militia caught up to him.  Thinking to myself, this is the first invader to my fortress, I will engrave a slab for him.  The Slab reads "In Memory of Axod Ngurexomu Tunartudo / Died 754 / Slayer of the dwarf Id Sprayeddagger" .

I don't remember the whole thing, but I've had lots of memorial slabs with something really silly, like "Urist McDeaddwarf/b. 10 d. 11/He liked dwarven ale."

The engraver was a wizard.

And I never said anything about sacrificing the chicken in DF.

We stopped keeping chickens years ago. The damn foxen kept eating them.

Does Armok accept KFC take-out?

The name of this one is what makes it notable to me. I find it to be hilariously absurd.

Picture a dwarf, warrior, mechanic, or some other incredibly useful profession. Now picture him dead. That's what infections do.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

My engraver made several masterwork engravings. They were of bolts and dimple cups.

They are also the only way to keep your magma'd or trapped dead dwarves from coming back.,
