Well, it's an old NES RPG. A bit like a mix of Dragon Warrior and the Legend of Zelda.

Anyways, this one part of it really reminded me of dwarf fortress:

I mean... man-eating elephants!? The elephants looked pretty crazy, too.

And finally, their evil plans revealed:

Elephant Tower!!

A grim vision of things to come?  I pray not.

I hope you're referring to the man-eating, tower-building elephants Capntastic, if it's the graphics, bring it to the graphics thread  ;)

That's one hell of a talented (and scary) elephant though.

Heh.  

I had completely forgotten it, but my Fiance has a bright pink stuffed/squishy elephant (she has a thing for elephants)... and it looks almost exactly like that icon.

She didn't understand when I asked it where it was building the tower...

Good lord. Elephant towers. The ultimate adventurer's nightmare.  :D

Oh man. If elephants can build towers, they can organize. If they can organize, they can declare war. If they declare war... we're in for a world of hurt.

We'd get them, all right. We'd get them coming straight into our forts and crushing our dwarves.   :eek:

Worse than that. Elephants wielding trunk mounted ballistas.

Yeah... elephants don't use crossbows. They use ballistae. And catapults? Who needs catapults when you can just pick up a boulder and throw it?
