title says it all. Is it bad theres a named giant badger? Wat do, I only have one talented hammerdorf

Edit: He's comming right at my fortress and is enraged, I have no doors halp its gonna maul my dorfs

[Lectorog]

A named badger means the badger has several kills. Avoid the badgers and your dwarf should be fine. If the badgers attack... close your gate and minimize your losses. Giant badgers are the worst of the three badger types, and at about the same level per line as a couple of honey badgers. Beware the Badger.

[Angel-of-Dusk]

So, I shouldn't try and take it with my hammerdorf? He has beat up countless badgermen and unicorns, how much tougher are giant badgers, and what of this named giant badger? Because, now Im really curious if I can go kill it.

[FuzzyZergling]

I don't think that a named creature is stronger than a normal one, unless it's intelligent (because unintelligent creatures don't gain combat skills). I could be wrong.

[Lectorog]

Named creatures aren't stronger because they're named; the name just means they have several kills. The fact that they have the ability to kill that much, though, usually means they will be stronger than their counterparts.

You can go try and kill the badgers if you want. Your hammerdwarf may or may not survive. They are stronger than badgermen, and there are more than with a unicorn or two, but individually they're weaker than unicorns. Sick the dwarf on the badgers if you want; I'll be interested to know the outcome.

[Aatch]

Whats its name, out of interest?

[Angel-of-Dusk]

My hammerdorf was sent on his suicide mission, and it turns out, he killed the badger. He broke its skull, which tore the brain, after beating the crap out of its legs, and the best part there was no casualties no one important got hurt! Huzzah!

 It's name is Edososust. Is that dwarven?

I found edos, which means amaze, and os, which means lie, but nothing more.

And he killed all of the giant badgers by himself? Cool dwarf. Better than my hammerdwarf, who got gutted by a giant olm, which then got killed by dogs, and then stayed in bed while a cave croc attacked, killed half a dozen dwarves, and was then killed by dogs.

His first kill was crushing a badgermans skull in with his fist and not his hammer for some reason. He also broke the badgermans legs before doing so

[ohgoditburns]

I started my fort with two military - one axedwarf, and one hammerdwarf. They did pretty well, killing off an entire tribe of panda men (one of which, unfortunately, got to one of the civilians and bit his hand off, leading to death due to bleeding out.)

Then the Giant Badgers showed up. The hammerdwarf smashed the skull of one, and lopped off the head of another, and then the axedwarf got knocked over by an engraged giant badger, which proceeded to remove all of his limbs, one by one.

For reference, these dwarves had shields, but no armor.

[Crustypeanut]

I wonder how my modded-in Badgerdwarves will fare against a giant badger?

[Ultimuh]

Badgerdwarves

 

Me want!

[FuzzyZergling]

I wonder how my modded-in Badgerdwarves will fare against a giant badger?

Do they rage at every non-dwarf in view?

[Crustypeanut]

Pretty much.  I had one chase down a fox, bite it in the tail, and proceed to shake it around violently until the fox's tail came off.  He then clawed and bit it to death.  This was an unskilled badgerdwarf.


Edit: In the Arena, it took 3 unskilled Badgerdwarves to kill a Giant Badger.  Two of those dwarves lost their lives, the third was heavily injured. 

[Oliolli]

Then how would... Giant Badgerdwarves work? 

Wait... Giant Badgerdwarves...

Doesn't seem to work
