[MaximumZero]

Dwarves realize that the construction that they've built can become one with the world, and are so awestruck at the thought that they have to become one with the world as well.

What does the sky in the world of DF look like?

[misko27]

Your face.

Why are dwarves perfectly willing to kill a cherished family member if ordered too? (berzerk, justice, loyalty cascade)

[crazysheep]

Because enemies of civ.

Why do Serrated Disc traps > everything?

[GoombaGeek]

When people talk about opening a can of whoop-ass, the serrated blades are the can's lid.

Why do migrants decide that moving to an evil glacier volcano aquifer with no qualifications whatsoever is a great career choice? (On the plus side, when their melting bodies sank into the lava they managed to reveal candy beneath!)

[Komra]

Migrants and expeditionary dwarves are largely banished convicts or daredevils, none with any other choice. Assignments are entirely out of their hands if they request a transfer from the Fortress Committee.

Why don't forts send out their own caravans and wagoneers?

Why don't forts send out their own caravans and wagoneers?

Only Mountainhomes have the political power and pure size to send out Embark Projects.

What do dwarves think of Mountain Goats?
They are obviously quite similar.

[crazysheep]

Urist likes mountain goats for their long dwarvenly beards.

Why don't Hammerers aim for the convict's HEAD?

Why don't Hammerers aim for the convict's HEAD?

If the convict survives, they will be able to hammer him more.

How come dwarfs can see in the dark?

[Steamswitch]

They're so drunk they think they can see in the dark. Dwarf alcohol is actually a powerful psychoactive drug.

Why are nobles ignorant snotty idiots who expect everyone to obey them?

[Corai]

Because DF is realistic.


Why cant dwarves put stuff back into stacks?

[crazysheep]

Because they're so blind drunk every stack looks the same, and they don't know which stack is full and which isn't.

Why do dwarves only brew 4 types of booze?

[Komra]

After they had finished trying to get their traditional plants to make sweet, sweet booze (dimple cup vodka did NOT work), the dwarves immediately went on to trying to distill some of the more common liquids around them. Fire whiskey and blood wine are... a *little* different in the Mountainhomes. The casualties producd by the experimentation led to a ban against alcohol experimentation without approval by the Dwarven Government.

From where do dwarves get their requisite calcium if they never drink milk and only rarely eat leafy green vegetables?

[Firehawk45]

You dont know, and you DONT WANNA KNOW whats in the booze they are drinking.....

Why are catapults actually railguns?

[Blizzlord]

Correction: ballistae are the railguns. Catapults are just bad.

How come pickaxes are considered foreign weapons?

[crazysheep]

Because it lacks a blunt attack. All dwarven weapons must have blunt attacks. This is also why the guy in charge of justice is a hammerer and not an axe-wielding executioner.

Why couldn't dimple cups make good booze?
