Dwarven Saints.
« on: June 12, 2011, 02:17:35 am »
In the history of the game, many epic characters have arised from the random ☺'s and ☻'s of civilization.  However, the more stable DF becomes, the less likely such epicness is to arise; for instance, there will never be another Morul because attribute gains are now capped.  And if ever new heros do arise, then the old ones will be forgotten.  It's already begun, half the people here have never even heard of Urist as anything but a random name!

Well, they shall be forgotten no longer.  It is time to Canonize a few old legends, sadly without a magma cannon...  I'll start the list, but I haven't played long enough to make sure I've gotten everyone included, so tell me if I forget anything.  Also, feel free to propose new dorfs (or other creatures) for canonization, but  be aware that it won't make the cut unless a lot of people agree with it and there are few objectors.



And so, let the rolls of honor begin:


Saint Urist

Patron Saint of...
  • Cats
  • Daggers
  • Hermits
  • Immigrant Traps


Saint Morul

Patron Saint of...
  • Badass


Saint Cacame

Patron Saint of...
  • Hammers
  • Woodcutters
  • Beards
  • Vengance


Saint Tholtig

Patron Saint of...
  • Legends
  • Warriors
  • Monarchs
  • Grudges

Dwarven economics are still in the experimental stages. The humans have told them that they need to throw a lot of money around to get things going, but every time the dwarves try all they just end up with a bunch of coins lying all over the place.

Feel free to ask me any questions you have about logic/computing; I'm majoring in the topic.

Every few miles, [the dwarves] stop the cart.  One of the dwarfs (sic) gets off, digs a hole down below the dirt layers, licks the bedrock, and then they know exactly where they are.  It's called GPS: Geological Piquancy Sampling.

You should provide some links. I didn't know Urist was anything other than foobar of DF. (In UNIX, you often explain things using foo and bar as placeholder names, like 'cp foo bar'). I doubt a forum or wiki search for Urist would be any good, that is why I ask for links.

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.

Just what we need. More stupid in-jokes that try too hard to be funny, but ultimately fail. I do believe that is what the Wiki is there for. There is a whole categories for stories, I believe.
