"Youth-anasia"-- A Shocking Tale of Dwarven Parenting
« on: August 03, 2011, 08:14:18 pm »

A while back, I set out to design a "democratic" fortress, with wide hallways and aesthetically pleasing "council chambers" and "Public forums", where my citizens could exercise their freedom of speech and have a voice in the community's political discussion... or at least I could pretend that's what they were doing when "attending parties" in those places.

Anyway, things were going well until a goblin ambush squad brutally slaughtered some of my bee-keepers and woodcutters as they wandered around the forest. By the time my soldiers had chased the invaders off, five or six pretty popular dwarves had been murdered. Although many dwarves were saddened by this event, the blinding beauty of the freedoms they enjoyed kept them calm and understanding. The same could not be said for the trouble-making daughter of the militia commander, Rakust Gatinlik. She took the news pretty badly-- so badly, in fact, that she decided to kill everything in her path:



Well, that didn't last long. Let's take a more detailed look at what happened.



And now, let's take a more detailed look at who was involved in this battle.



What happened becomes clear. Rakust went berserk, then attacked her mother's cat. Her mother comes out from the barracks and proceeds to smash her daughter's brains out.

Mom must be striken with grief over such a tragic death...  :'(





NOPE.

I am glad not to live in the brutal world of Dwarf Fortress.

I once had a mother of twins take both of her babies with her into the caverns to fight a forgotten beast earthworm.  This.. is the result.

Babies are the best shields. No exceptions.

Really? You're letting them reach cat-hood?  Why not just chain a breeding pair in a small room with deep channels that land near the crafting workshops?  Raining kitten bones for quick boltmaking!

Ironhand graphics + Truetype

I like it. Looks to be clean and clear.
