Why would they not fire at the same rate?

How can a desert titan be made of green glass?

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

The sheer heat of the enviroment melts the sand of the desert into green glass, which then gains sentience and becomes a titan.

Why can't all titans have awesome backstories like that?

Because Toady is working on the poetry generator at the moment.

Why don't invaders actually mount a long-term siege?

I make Spellcrafts!
I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Because their overlord can't afford the overtime.

Why is everything in the world sorta made of squares?

Like said in SixOfSpades's sig, DF is "kinda like minecraft, but for people who hate themselves."

Why can't dwarves claim figurines and put them in their room, like Misty did?

Nobles.
"WHAT do you think you are doing there, Urist? Violating the export ban eh? No, I do not care whether you are exporting it to your room or the united anti-dwarf coalition, GUARDS, arrest this vile fiend!"

Why can't there be uprisings against nobles?

Because bridges swing downwards, and downrising doesn't make any sense when you say it out loud.

Why can't dorfs replicate the material+type--say a platinum war hammer or obsidian bed--they used for an artifact, later on?

Once the zesty fervor of artificing leaves, it leaves forever and takes all it's knowledge with it, leaving only muscle memory of the thing the dwarf made... sadly, the dwarf is too closed minded to use the same material if it wasn't "weaponable"

Why won't my dwarves clean the vomit in the entry hall rather than just tracking it around?

Eww, that would be disgusting to clean up! Wallowing in its filth is far better for Dwarves.

Why is everything inevitable?

If everything was not inevitable, it would not have happened.

Since when did dwarves get so deep?

Since the first dwarf had a Strange Mood and made a pick...

What did the other dwarfs say to him when he made it?
Logged
Mules gotta spleen. Dwarfs gotta eat.
Thisfox likes aquifers, olivine, Forgotten Beasts for their imagination, & dorfs for their stupidity. She prefers to consume gin & tonic. She absolutely detests Facebook.

Nothing, they threw him into a jail where he starved because it was a fell mood.

Why do you think dwarves are labelled as "Sturdy"?

Why are mountain gnomes so unoriginal, dwarves are the only real alcoholics.

Gnomes are degenerate Dwarves who struck a deal with the Devil Elves.

Why are non-flesh Titans and Forgotten Beasts actually pretty easy to kill?

Because magnetism hasn't been implemented yet, so they can't pull themselves together.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
