The dwarves who discovered it decided to dye it midnight blue with dimple dye.

How many dwarves does it take to build a wall?

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.

That depends on what ADOM is, but it probably involves magma ending up all over it.

What exactly is ADOM?

With the work, dedication and perseverance of the whole of the fort. Also, without warning or explanation.

What is the silliest thing to manufacture with a magma forge?

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.

There is nothing silly about magma forges, nor the items created with them.

Why only enormous corkscrews? Can't we have reasonably-sized corkscrews?

Dwarves don't bottle things, why bother with corks?

Why can't we make longswords in fortress mode?
They look so long and unwieldy that dwarves are skeptical about even using them if they have a choice... also the extra reach is kinda pointless it you're not on horseback...

Why won't dwarves make flails?

Dwarves intertwine beard hairs into their leather before they treat it, resulting in a stronger, more flexible leather.  Thats why dwarven leather is prefered over human leather.

Why dont night horrors attack a fort with their stealth and painless bodies and skills if dwarven leather is better?

Cats have decided that they are a threat, and cats pull the beard hairs around here.

Why don't demons impersonate gods for the humans any more?
