Huh?  They're in the world, but they just want to stick around your fortress.  Player fortresses are such hellholes that it feels like home, and acts as a strange demon attractor, keeping them from traveling far away.

Why don't dwarves like elves?  They don't like buying wood.  So what?  Real dwarves don't use wood for much but beds, barrels and bins.  Stone crafts and metal goblets they like best, indeed.  And they bring alcohol, cloth, and tame animals that can be trained into a veritable ARMY.  And the "100 trees limit" isn't so bad anymore.  Seriously, I've chopped down maybe like 40 trees in my current fortress over the last four years.

Ancestral memory.

They're on friendly terms most of the time until you rear your head in and start messing up everything (not that I complain, I enjoy being a sociopath), alternatively, the fact that they scream at you to stop chopping down wood when it might be the dwarves' trading sell-point/Really uncalled for Short Jokes may lead to dwarves becoming enraged.

Why do necromancers hate everybody?

[PyroTechno]

Why do necromancers hate everybody?

Hatred is too strong of a word. They simply view everyone as future undead servants waiting to be killed and raised.

Why do some people not ask a question to keep the thread going?

[crazyabe]

Because they want it to die.


How do we keep this thread alive?

[cochramd]

By asking better questions.

How do we come up with better questions?

[crazyabe]

By questioning everything.


How do we Question everything?

SCIENCE!

Did you want a punchline?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Yes.

Which is better: the ‼SCIENCE‼ of organics (nice fleshy gobbos) or the ‼SCIENCE‼ of inorganics (magma, stone, etc.)?

[cochramd]

The !!SCIENCE!! of what happens when they collide at high speeds.

Why are the dwarfs of the mountainhomes, and everyone else on the planet outside your fort, incapable of producing goods of any real quality?

Because of an endless cycle of parties and breaks. Goblins can't get anything done with all the lag. Humans get distracted by merchants in their markets. Elves are elves. Kobolds prefer to steal.

Why doesn't the mountainhomes have unfortunate accidents?

[cochramd]

Any dwarf clever and callous enough to pull off an unfortunate accident is put in charge of founding and running new settlements.

How can an armless dwarf produce items in a workshop?

Beard.

Can human beards function like dwarf beards?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Course not!  They're obviously inferior imitations.

Why are elves so short?  I thought this was a Tolkienesque world.
