All bow to the volcano god!
« on: April 05, 2011, 05:41:41 pm »



Here's to hoping my dwarves make one or more bolt artifacts in honor of the volcano god, bringer of the ashes of life, that fertilize the ground where they land. xD

We need a god named Toad in Dwarven. He should be depicted as a dwarf and be associated with fortresses.

There's not even an Armok in my world, now that I double-checked. This must be rectified as soon as possible!

If I recall correctly, Armok is not even a possible deity name. This can be fixed by some sexual raw editing, though.

If dwarves decided to live in trees like hippies, they'd still do it better than the elves.

That actually bothered me at first, but after reading the "Lore" behind Dwarf Fortress, this sort of makes sense.

Armok making a universe and destroying it on a whim, just for personal entertainment.

(If I'm not mistaken, that is.)

That would be me as a god.

But then again, how do you know I'm not the one true god?  :P

ALL HAIL GOD NECRO!


Also, how exactly does the game decide the gods?

I've never once had a god or goddess that was depicted as something other than a dwarf.

I guess it's random. The only non-dwarf god I ever got was a goat. So it was a goat göt.

Considering Armok apparently is supposed to be exactly a joke about the player...

Well if you remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag from dwarves I think they have like 2-4 children each time they give birth. And if you get enough mothers up on the pillars you can probably get a good waterfall going.
Ashes are technically fire-safe.
