Is this embark giving me a hint?

The wild animals are carp, a pike, a sea lamprey, longnose gar, and badgers.

Yes.

If an elephant comes, and there is a giant cave spider, GET OUT NOW! You've been warned.

Clearly, the game is telling you to conquer the foes of every version, one by one! First the elephants, then the unicorns! Carp and cave spider! Demons and badgers! All shall fall before you! Onwards, to victory! To the end of us all!

No we don't. 910 is totally not the same thing as Rebel. It'd be like saying a Samantha and a Samuel had the same name, which is clearly absurd. [/completelymissingthepoint]

Also, I had it first  :P

I think you're right about that, but that doesn't mean that they're the same name, now does it? Something like that.

On Topic people!

You must build many cage traps so all of them may belong to you.

Capture them all and throw them in the arena. Build the cages, flood it with 3/7 water (enough for the carp, but not so much everything else drowns), and release them. Wemust know which is truly the most fearsome combatant! Also, mod the carp to have [Can_Learn] and the elephants to [Likes_Fighting] like they used to have.

Didn't carp already have [CAN_LEARN], at least in earlier versions? That was what made them so fearsome, iirc. I assume by your post that the tag was removed in the current version?

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

Yes, the tag has been removed since, as was the [LIKES_FIGHTING] tag from elephants.
