Do Dwarves Ride?
« on: February 10, 2011, 09:56:12 pm »
...Like, horses or elephants or anything? I know that siegers sometimes do, but do dwarves?

Nope. But buying livestock in adventurer mode is in the next release, and horseback riding in dwarf mode can't be far behind that. :D

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Yup, battle trained pachyderms ... and he took them across the western Mediterranean to (what is now) south-eastern Spain/France, up the coast, into the Alps, and through one of the most dangerous passes there was ... because nobody would expect it.  If he hadn't lost something like 2/3 of his force (both men and elephant) crossing the Alps he wouldn't just have won, he'd have smashed his enemies.  As it was I think it came out a draw, which was basically a loss for Hannibal.

No, giant war eagles!

Urist McEaglerider: "By me booze-soaked beard! Dwarves should stay on th' ground, preferably under it! I'm gonna be sick!"

Combat Report: The <weapon>sdwarf vomits.
The spinning vomit hits the Speargoblin in the head, shattering the bone and tearing apart the brain through his <<iron helmet>>.
A tendon in the skull has been torn!

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Dear Akura,
2 things
1. I am so looking forward to creating my own bomber fleet of dwarves
2. I love New Vegas.

I can picture the engravings now.

"This is a masterful engraving of Urist McBomberdwarf and Goblin McPedofile in native platinum. The artwork relates to the killing of Pedofile in 107. Pedofile is making a plantive gesture, Urist is vomiting.

Edit: I started typing that before Ultimuh posted >__> but he beat me too it, great minds?

Somehow this thread went from making dwarves rip their bones straight from their bodies to the calming blood mist generated by dozens of babies hitting the ground at once.

This is dorf fortress, get your elven spelling out of here!  :P
Also, war kittens.

Edit: Ultimuh wins, I can just imagine a dorf that hates purring maggots riding a swarm of them into battle.
